Spear & Jackson 23cm Spatulate 4-Tine Fork with Wooden Handle

This 23 cm Spear & Jackson fork is equipped with a 4-tine spatulate steel head, widened in their central part, and a metal fitting that better protects the ash handle from shocks and rot. It is a well-finished garden tool that can be used to work and turn light, loose, and/or sandy soils. It is versatile and can also be used for transplanting, to aerate the soil around established plants without harming their roots, remove stones, bury manure, or bring up harmful larvae.

Dimensions of the digging fork blade: 23 cm in height x 19.5 cm in width - Handle length: 100 cm - Weight: 1.930 Kg

The fork is a complementary tool to the spade, designed to loosen and crumble the soil deeply, in small areas. Better suited than the spade for working with stony or clayey soils, it allows the soil to be aerated and loosened without turning it over, simply by moving it through the penetration of the tines. Unlike the spade, this garden tool does not disturb the soil's microbial life and does not cut earthworms, which are essential for soil health and fertility. It allows you to remove weeds, as well as certain vegetable plants (leeks, potatoes, carrots, turnips), or divide large clumps of perennial plants. This model, with its widened and pointed tines, gives good results in very loose soils, but is not suitable for very hard soils. It consists of an ash handle, resistant to bending and shocks, with a fitting where the steel head with 4 tines is attached. The ferrule fitting is a metal piece that extends well over the base of the wooden handle and protects it from excessive moisture. The compostable curved handle is rounded at its end, the metal head is recyclable.
