Three-pronged traditional forged biofork by De Pypere

The three-pronged forged biofork by De Pypere is a sturdy and ergonomic tool that loosens and aerates the soil without turning it over, in order to preserve its physical structure and avoid disturbing the rich ecosystem it contains. This garden tool is also designed to provide great comfort during use, allowing the gardener to work standing up with minimal effort. It can be used like a grelinette and is suitable for heavy, clayey, and compact soils.

The classic fork is originally a complementary tool to the spade, designed to aerate, loosen, and crumble the soil deeply in small areas. It is much better suited than the spade for working with clayey or heavy and compact soils. The traditional De Pypere biofork is a type of fork with a wide head equipped with 3 curved tines, a foot support area, and two long wooden handles that can be replaced when worn out. This 3-pronged cultivator loosens the soil to a depth of about 20 cm, simply by pushing in the robust and sharp tines. Unlike the spade or tiller, this garden tool does not mix the different layers of soil, does not disturb microbial life, and does not cut through earthworms, which are essential for soil health and fertility. The surface layer of the soil is rich in humus composed of decomposing plant matter, which is highly nutritious for plants. Invertebrates, insects, bacteria, and fungi that are involved in this process require oxygen, and they suffocate when the soil is turned over, while the deeper, poorer layer ends up on the surface. Use the biofork to prepare the soil before sowing or planting. Thanks to its 130 cm handles, you can work with a straight back, minimizing the strain on the back muscles even during intensive use and reducing the risk of soreness or other pains.

Using it requires a little practice:
