Considerations for buying garden forks
When purchasing online, choose a fork that is strong, so it doesn’t bend when being used. Forged tools are durable and well-made, which is what you need when you’re working in gardens, particularly if you’re working with heavy clay or compacted soil.
You should also think about what you'll be doing with the garden forks. There are three main types you’ll find online.
- The basic garden fork is the smallest type and it’s ideal for breaking up hard soil or starting a new garden. It’s also used to double dig and aerate soil.
- The digging fork is used to dig or turn over lighter soil types and to harvest root vegetables.
- The border fork is ideal for people with small hands, or to use in small places. They’re also good for borders, raised beds, and other places where a bigger fork might not fit.
The standard garden fork has four long, straight, square, or rectangle-shaped tines – some are sharp and long, others are small. Most garden forks are about 40 inches long, with a "D" or "T" handle. Complete your garden with a metal bench or outdoor bar table.
