Know before you buy
At 29 inches long, this tool sits between a traditional short-handled hand fork and a full-sized digging fork. This extra reach makes it specifically designed for working in raised beds or deep flower borders without requiring you to kneel or overreach.
Yes. The tines are crafted from hardened stainless steel, which provides the necessary rigidity to penetrate and loosen tight or clay-heavy soils effectively.
While the stainless steel is rust-resistant, we recommend cleaning the tool after use and storing it in a dry place. This will help preserve the Ash hardwood handle and keep the steel in peak condition for years to come.
Absolutely. The compact 4.25-inch head width allows you to maneuver between established plants, making it ideal for weeding and aerating soil without disturbing the root systems of your flowers.
The fork weighs approximately 14 ounces, making it lightweight enough to use comfortably for longer periods without causing significant wrist or arm fatigue.
