Kew Gardens Carbon Steel Soil Rake

The Kew Gardens Carbon Steel Soil Rake is a professional-grade garden rake designed for breaking down soil into a fine tilth. Developed through collaboration between Spear & Jackson and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, this tool combines horticultural expertise with traditional British manufacturing quality to deliver a reliable implement for soil preparation and garden maintenance.

Solid forged from carbon steel, the rake head offers exceptional strength—at least 50% stronger than stainless steel alternatives—ensuring long-term durability for demanding garden work. The extra wide head features 14 teeth that enable efficient processing of larger areas, making light work of levelling beds and creating the perfect seedbed tilth.

The extended 1524mm handle reduces the need for bending during use, helping to minimise back strain during prolonged raking sessions. FSC certified wooden construction with weather-proofing treatment ensures the shaft withstands outdoor conditions, whilst a hammer finished epoxy coating on the head provides enhanced resistance to rust, humidity and alkaline soils. A practical leather wrist strap facilitates convenient storage when not in use.

Ideal for vegetable growers preparing seed beds, landscapers levelling soil, and gardeners maintaining borders and beds throughout the growing season.
