Hello,

I have seen potato forks in the garden centre. They claims that the
flattened tynes prevent you from spearing your potatoes. Is that true?
Surely if you are unlucky enough to push it directly onto a potato it
will still spear it?

TIA


I worked on a farm in the dim and distant past -and the potato forks
(which were the size of shovels) had what looked like half-inch ball
bearings on the end of each tine.
