Q: What makes this fork different from a standard garden fork?
Its tines are longer, more slender and more closely spaced than a standard fork, which suits it specifically to mulch, compost and similar lightweight material rather than digging soil.

The long, slender, closely spaced tines of this fork are particularly suited to handling mulch and compost. It can also be used for picking up stones greater than 1" diameter.
With a basket shape, it holds leaves, wood chips, etc., well and is much more effective than a shovel in such material. Comes with a traditional 54" ash handle with a curved ferrule. 66 1/2" long overall.
