Gardening Naturally Hand Fork - Stainless Steel Tines, Ash Wood Handle

It is ideal for loosening soil, improving airflow, planting in small areas, and lifting weeds, especially in confined spaces like pots, beds, and borders.

While stainless steel offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, prolonged exposure to moisture without drying can still lead to minor spotting over time. Proper cleaning and drying after each use are recommended.

The ash wood handle has a length of approximately 14cm, designed for a comfortable grip during hand-held tasks.

No, this hand fork is designed for lighter tasks requiring precision. It is not intended for heavy-duty digging or breaking up extremely compacted, stony soil.

It features a drilled hole with a leather hanger, allowing for convenient storage by hanging it in a dry place when not in use.

The overall length is 31cm, with a head width of 8cm and a head height of 16cm.

The ash wood handle is durable and comfortable. For optimal longevity, it can be occasionally treated with a light coat of linseed oil, especially if stored in dry conditions.

Ensure the tines are clean and free from dried soil. For significant dullness, a metal file can be used cautiously to restore the edge, though this is rarely needed for typical use.

Apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil or linseed oil to the handle and let it soak in. Wipe off any excess. Repeat as needed, typically once or twice a year.

Gently scrub the affected areas with a non-abrasive pad and a mild soap. Dry thoroughly. For stubborn spots, a very fine steel wool can be used sparingly, followed by immediate drying and oiling.
