EspañolSPADING FORK
(Redirected from Garden fork)
A 'spading fork' (sometimes called a ''garden fork'' or ''graip'') is a gardening implement, with a handle and several short, thick prongs. It is used for loosening and lifting soil in a garden or farm and is used similarly to a spade. Spading forks used to be made of wood but the majority are now made or carbon steel or stainless steel. They are often mistakenly called pitchforks, but their tines are usually shorter than those of a pitchfork, and are flat and wide rather than thin and round, and more closely spaced. The handle is also shorter and usually has a ''D'' handle. This fork is also useful for lifting potatoes from the ground.
