Hi All
I have just broken my fork (after 15 years faithfull service)
I wonder if anyone has any recommendations for a decent replacement?

it had wider tines than normal (I always called it a digging fork, but it
may be known as a potato fork??)
also a longer handle (I am over 6 feet)

I am sure it was not too expensive when I got it
but I can't replace it directly because I am not sure of its make since
its
label has come off

any thoughts?

Go and pick some up in a shop. (Having had a quick research of prices
online)



I have looked at some in my local shops (DIY Sheds) all seem to have
fairly narrow tines and short (ish) handles

Ah you need a fork shop then.
Not got a garden centre or Wilkos near you?

Which prob isn't tall enough for you.

If you wanted spades I can find them growing wild round here.
