Its primary purpose is for light cultivation, planting, and weeding in garden beds and borders, designed to reduce bending and improve user comfort.
The handle is made from FSC® approved ash wood, known for its strength and durability.
No, this fork is intended for light cultivation and weeding. It is not designed for breaking up heavily compacted soil or digging in rocky ground.
The fork has a total length of 125cm and the handle has a diameter of 29mm, which is tapered for comfort.
Clean the handle with a damp cloth and periodically treat it with wood oil to prevent drying and cracking.
Yes, the ash wood used for the handle is FSC® approved, ensuring it comes from responsibly managed forests.
It is best suited for tasks like loosening soil in existing beds, planting small plants or bulbs, and removing weeds without excessive bending.
Ensure the ferrule (the metal join between the handle and tines) is secure. If it has loosened, gently tap it back into place or consult a hardware store for advice on securing wooden handles.
For minor bends, you may be able to carefully straighten the tines with pliers. Significant damage may render the fork unsuitable for heavy use and may require replacement.
Apply a coat of wood oil, such as linseed oil, to the handle. Allow it to soak in and wipe away any excess. Repeat this process periodically, especially if storing in a dry environment.
Setup: This tool requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.
Compatibility: The Kent & Stowe Long Handled Fork is designed for general gardening tasks and is compatible with most garden soil types for light cultivation. It is not intended for use with power tools or heavy machinery.
Care: To ensure the longevity of your fork, clean the tines after each use to remove soil and debris. Wipe the wooden handle with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Periodically treat the wooden handle with a suitable wood oil (like linseed oil) to prevent drying and cracking, especially if stored in dry conditions. Store the fork in a dry place, ideally hung or with the tines protected, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
