Best Lee Valley Spading Fork

Whether you are digging potatoes, lifting other root crops or dividing perennials, this is a handy fork.

The 48″ long ash handle lets you work with less effort (greater mechanical advantage) while standing erect, an advantage over D-handle forks. The head, with four flat-profile hardened tines, is forged in Austria from 1/4″ thick steel and measures 7 1/2″ × 11 1/2″. Fork measures 60″ overall.

It’s also great for moving clumps of sod or turning heavy wet compost.
