Hi
I have taken over an allotment which has not been dug for at least two
years. London, so the earth has a fair amount of clay, hence large
clumps of earth hard to break up.
I was wondering if something like a garden claw might make the task
easier. At present we are struggling with forks.
Thanks for any feedback.

I took one look at the claw in the garden centre, then saw the price
tag! No way was I going to spend that amount of money. I think the
tool is a bit of a gimmick, maybe following a bad batch from a fork
manufacturer who sold them off cheap.
