Spork - half fork half spade
A fiend of mine Robert Todd has designed and made the garden spork.
It's half fork & half spade. I wasn't sure how good it would be so I tested it out in my allotment. I was very impressed by it. The blade didn't get clogged up with clay as my spade tends to do. It cut through the soil and the sharp cutting edges cut sliced he soil effortlessly. It's nice when a British invention does the job it was intended for. It was great at weeding the gravel path like how and is light yet tough. It's well worth a look. |

I've put this first message on here about the spork as I believe there are people intersted in gardening to share ideas, comments. The point of my message is to let people know that there is an alternative to spades & forks. Yes I have a web site and have the spork listed but I pass the sales on as Robert doesn't have a web site and I wan to help. The best place to buy the spork is the Town Garden in Oxford. and no it's not mine and I don't have shares etc. |

Silly question but which is at the bottom/top? I was digging holes in hard ground today. I needed a fork to break it up and a spade to dig it out... If a spork is a spade with prongs it wouldn't have worked very well because when digging a deep hole just the tip of the spade is used to lift the dirt out. If it's the other way around it won't break up the soil like a fork does. |

It's very cleverly designed see photo on http://www.town-garden.co.uk |
