Double digging fork steel

The double digging fork is a widely used soil cultivation tool in English gardens, where it is known as the "broadfork". In France and Switzerland, it goes by the name "Grelinette" and is just as common there. It is only in our gardens that this extremely helpful tool has so far had little presence. We would like to change that and offer you a double digging fork made by a German manufacturer. The sturdy frame with the two handles is made from smoothly sanded ash wood, one of the most suitable woods for this purpose. The tool head, with its five sturdy tines, is made of high-strength tool steel that has been specially galvanized to increase its durability.

Those working in organic farming know this: The double digging fork is the ultimate tool for loosening the soil. This is because it makes traditional digging superfluous. Instead, the fork tines are driven deep into the soil and the entire tool is moved back and forth in a rocking motion. In this way, the soil is not turned over and yet is loosened thoroughly without disturbing the soil life. Even mulched beds can be loosened efficiently in this way, without having to remove the mulch cover first. The best thing is that not only the soil in your beds, however heavy and impenetrable it may be, benefits from this approach. Your back also benefits, because with the double digging fork you always work in an upright posture. Unlike digging with a spade, your arms and upper body are hardly strained. Working with this tool is - if you like - more like light full-body fitness training, similar to working out on a cross trainer.
