Questions & Answers

Does this work well for turning compost piles? Not sure if it is sturdy enough to do that?

This is a very sturdy design. There will be no problems with it

What are the tines like on this? Are they curved or I appreciate it! ?

The tines have perhaps a fifth of the way to go before they curve, then they are straight I find this to be a very useful tool. I am very pleased with it.

When it comes to the handle, how long does it measure?

It's probably not much more than five feet

When it comes to the tines, how far apart are they? Would this work well for moving/spreading a mix of wood chips, palm leaves, ?

My experience with it involves moving mixed debris in a similar way to what you describe. I have had very good results with it.

A gardening tool you can't live without
5/5

I grew up watching my parents use a garden fork as a favorite tool. The reason I have not been able to locate them has yet to occur to me. My gardens will be easier to work in because this one is narrow enough to be used in digging up dirt and pulling Exactly what I was looking for. An elderly woman of 70 years old. As well as stabilizing myself in gardening by driving it into the ground and grasping the handle, it also works great as a hammer. I think that is very good - I made it. This was much better than I was expecting. We ordered a smaller version as well that works the same way. A garden fork is the ideal tool to add to your garden tools collection if you have never used one.

The revolution is about to begin! Oh my goodness! To transform my barren sandbox into a lush oasis of greenery has involved endless yards of chips, carried one bucket at a time
5/5

Recently, an arborist delivered 28 yards of shredded palm leaves, with nary a chip in site. I was astonished at what I saw when I saw the pile. I realized that carrying this mass to the back of the house in five gallon buckets would not be an option. I figured that I could spread the load over the sand in front of the house, and then cover it all with chips later. This batch of palm leaves would eventually turn into a nice mulch, and at the same time, they would help keep weeds at bay. But as I started spreading the pile, I realized that the task was more challenging than it had first appeared to be. The situation wasn't moving along smoothly for me during those days as I worked hourly to make some inroads in the mountain. To push my tiny pitchfork (which I recently discovered is actually a spading fork) into the pile or to pull bits of the pile out with my tiny rake, it required a tremendous amount of effort. Then, I began to look at larger tools, and this monster ensilage fork caught my attention. That was the best decision I ever made! In comparison to my spading fork, this pitchfork is more than twice the size. As opposed to four tines, there are ten, and they are extremely thin but extremely As if a hot knife had been cutting butter, it sliced through the pile. When I initially took it out of the box, I thought it was heavy, but I quickly got over this. It is reasonably lightweight, but it does take up a lot of space. There is SO much more material moved (at a much faster rate) when using it than There is still a lot of work to be done, but it is not as endless as it once seemed. Especially since I will be adding some muscle to my training I am very pleased with the quality of welding on this pitchfork. It seems as though the wooden handle will last forever. Total control can be achieved with the handle. In spite of the coated ends of the tines, which are made of some sort of rubber or plastic, it is able to cut straight through a dense pile of vegetation that no other of my tools can cut through. Even if the coating wears off, it's not a big deal. No matter how naked the tines are, the jobs will not become any more difficult. As a result, I would give this product 100 stars! Throughout my lifetime, I'll have a special place set aside for this ensilage fork in my tool shed and in my heart.

As of yesterday, its only been used to turn compost in two bins of leaves
3/5

Not sure how long it will hold up. Just got it a week ago. I have used it a few times and am very uncertain about its long term durability. Each time I use it, it appears that the handle is almost crumbling. Despite the fact that it is not very sturdy, I use it for light work only. Turning soil in the ground is definitely not something I would do. If you need to use a tool for heavy-duty work, I would recommend a stronger, more expensive one.

The most useful of forks
5/5

To turn the compost in my compost box, I had been using a pitchfork with five tines. I tried the five-tine fork first, but this fork is much better and does a better job. It picks up a lot more compost and the compost that will be added to the pile shortly. I spent $35 well. I highly recommend this product to all.

This tool is fantastic for the garden! I am so impressed with this thing! I think my new favorite instrument in the garden is the spade
5/5

It is incredible how much material I can move with this ensilage fork when compared to the tools I've used to move piles of arborist mulch all over my garden. This tool is almost twice the width of anything I've ever seen and moves so much material. It's like comparing a shovel with a flat head to one with a snowblade. It begins with the D It also gives me a great grip on material as the handle is just the right length for my hands My only issue with the plastic handle casting that needed to be smoothed out was a small sharp burr, but it was a quick job, and now the handle is super comfortable. I highly recommend this tool if you have loose materials like mulch to move.

Pine needle forks are fantastic for cutting You get a lot of fork for your money with this one
5/5

Having a solid hardwood handle, the fork is attached to the handle well. My property is covered with large piles of pine needles and the tines on the shovel are durable and coated. These tools really make short work of this task. Heavily reinforced but not to the point of being overweight. A reliable product that should last for years. I was thinking of buying another one for my wife.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Green Acres! It would be helpful if that could be scooped up and thrown into the woods so grass clippings could be thrown in
5/5

Using a shovel, a rake, and my hands, I tried getting the leaf out. I wasn't a fan of any of those. A pitchfork like this The bomb, however, is the icing on the cake. This is an Ace Hardware item. Strong and well built, it is extremely durable. As a result, you now need to put only 5 minutes per load for tasks that previously took 15 minutes. When you dump 7--that's quite a bit of data It takes 8 loads of grass to fill a standard horse trailer. I like that it's heavy, but that keeps the momentum going. There is a lot of balance in the article.

The fork is in the air, and we are ready to transplant! Forks are amazing! I enjoy my new one a lot
5/5

It shipped quickly and arrived oversized in a box made for oversized boxes. I purchased this to transfer the daffodils that grow in my yard at will, and to work on my compost pile. There is no problem with the weight. This is a perfect weight for my arms - not too heavy to be tiring, but heavy enough that it is not frightened of breaking. As well as being comfortable to work with, the height is nice. The journey thus far has been smooth. It doesn't bother me at all to step on it with my whole weight (even to jump on it to dig deeper). A few rocks have also been hit by it, but it has held up well. My guess is that it will last at least several more years. It was a great purchase and I'm glad I purchased it.
