Know before you buy
The narrow head is designed to fit between closely planted rows or in tight garden beds where a standard-sized rake would damage surrounding plants. It allows for precise weeding and soil cultivation in confined spaces.
Yes, the handle measures 65.5 inches, which is long enough for most gardeners to work in an upright position. This extended reach helps minimize the need for bending or stooping during soil leveling and weeding tasks.
The rake is made from hardened stainless steel, which is naturally corrosion-resistant. This makes it highly durable and suitable for regular use in damp soil without the risk of premature rusting.
Absolutely. While it excels at weeding, the four-tine design is also effective for cultivating soil, breaking up small clumps, and leveling surface soil around your plants.
To keep the FSC-certified Ash handle in top condition, we recommend wiping it clean after use and storing it in a dry place. Periodically applying a light coat of linseed oil can help preserve the wood and prevent it from drying out over time.
