Kew Gardens Garden Hand Forks

Kew Gardens Garden Hand Forks at Tooled-Up.com

Kew Gardens Garden Hand Forks are compact cultivating tools for weeding, loosening soil and working in tight spaces such as borders, pots and tubs. Tooled-Up.com stocks the Kew Gardens Carbon Steel Hand Weed Fork and the Kew Gardens Stainless Steel Hand Weed Fork, along with the Neverbend 3 Piece Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel Garden Hand Tool Sets, which pair a fork with other hand tools.

The main choice is between carbon steel and stainless steel heads. Carbon steel is at least 50% stronger than stainless steel, so it suits tougher soil. Stainless steel gives a smooth, rust-resistant finish that is easy to keep clean.

Key Features of Kew Gardens Garden Hand Forks

• Carbon steel head: its extra strength resists bending and keeps the tines durable in compacted or stony ground.
• Stainless steel head: it resists corrosion and wipes clean, which helps in damp conditions and suits gardeners who want low-maintenance tools.
• Weeding fork design: the tines get in around plant roots, so you can lift weeds and cultivate the soil without disturbing nearby plants.
• Neverbend sets: the 3 piece sets give you matching hand tools for planting, weeding and soil preparation, in your choice of steel.
• Horticultural design: the tools were developed with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, so the shape and balance are intended for serious everyday gardening.

Who Uses Kew Gardens Garden Hand Forks?

These forks suit keen home gardeners, allotment holders and professional gardeners who need a dependable hand tool for detailed work. They are ideal for weeding established borders, aerating the soil in containers and planters, and breaking up compacted soil around young plants. Landscapers and grounds maintenance teams will find them useful for finishing jobs where a full-size fork is too bulky.

The 3 piece sets suit anyone starting or refreshing a tool collection, or looking for a gift for a gardener. Browse the Kew Gardens selection at Tooled-Up.com to compare the carbon steel and stainless steel options.
