They seem very expensive .
is the action of turning motion a labour saving or a gimmick ?
Garden centres dont seem to keep them but B&Q do.
35 -39 pounds seem a lot ,
they dont cost much to produce i should imagine
any opinions to share ?


I was bought one as a present by a non-gardener. I only use it a few times a
year for softening up the soil in the carrot box and incorporating compost
before sowing as the big handles allow me to do that without standing in the
box. Also for loosening the compost in the compost bin before shovelling it
out.
I find it's worse for my back than a normal fork and it gives your shoulders
a good workout too.
A bit of a gimmick.
