Broad Forks
A broadfork is a manual garden tool designed for loosening and aerating the soil in a non-invasive way. It consists of several sturdy metal tines set at equal intervals across a horizontal bar, which is attached to a pair of handles for leverage. By inserting the tines into the ground and using the handles to press downward, the broadfork breaks up compacted soil, improves drainage, and allows roots to penetrate deeper. This gentle approach to soil cultivation helps maintain the soil's structure and fertility. See our preferred pick here.
Pitch Forks
A pitchfork is a long-handled tool with sharp, pointed prongs used for lifting and tossing loose material such as hay, straw, leaves, or manure. It is commonly found on farms and is essential for tasks like spreading mulch, turning compost piles, and feeding livestock. The prongs on a pitchfork can vary in number, typically ranging from two to six, and are made of durable materials like steel to withstand heavy use. This versatile tool is a staple in agriculture and gardening for efficiently moving and distributing various organic materials. See our preferred pitchfork here.
Leaf Rake
A leaf rake is an essential tool for this seasonal task. Designed with long, flexible tines, a leaf rake efficiently gathers up leaves, grass clippings, and other debris from your lawn or garden bed. The lightweight design makes it easy to handle, while the wide head helps you cover more ground with each pass. Say goodbye to a messy outdoor space and hello to a clean and well-maintained garden with the help of a reliable spring/leaf rake. Buy one from our local ACE Hardware Store.
