Garden Forks

A must have for turning soil, dividing established plants and aerating soil, nearly all garden forks are produced with short handles. It is essential that you purchase forks with heavy-gauge tempered steel- to prevent the cost of replacement. Forks are easier to use to then a spade for digging in heavy, condensed soil. It is very important to break down and aerate tough, heavy soil to allow for the release of toxins, and the flow of oxygen into the soil. Invest in a fork with thick tines that are square in the cross-section (rather then flat). You will be using a lot of force and thin tines are quick to bend out of shape.
