Garden forks are staples in a gardener's shed, so why not upgrade to the best garden fork with our stock of Burgon & Ball forks? After all, if they’re good enough for the Royal Horticultural Society, you know they’re good enough for your garden!
Our collection includes both big, tall, short, and small garden forks, so you can get the job done properly (and quickly) with the right tools without unnecessary strain or discomfort.
Ergonomic Long-Handled Digging Forks
Fed up with kneeling down for hours to dig up those pesky weeds or turn over soil? Or need to move a large amount of soil or compost?
The Burgon & Ball long-handled forks are just the right height to save your back and knees. Their lightweight yet sturdy design makes them perfect for tasks that require a bit of extra force, while the ergonomic grip ensures maximum comfort.
If you're working in borders, the Ash Handle Border Fork is a perfect pick. It’s smaller than a regular fork, so it fits in tighter spaces like borders, with a Y-grip for more comfortable handling. The stainless steel head is rust-resistant, so you can use it in damp soil without worrying about corrosion.
The classic Digging Fork has been tested to a huge breaking strain of 100kg and is slightly longer than most forks. It’ll reduce strain on your back and get the job done in no time.
Essential Hand Forks
For your cultivating needs, the Burgon & Ball Stainless Steel Hand Fork is a must. It's lightweight, gentle on your wrists, and precisely angled for ergonomic use, so you can garden without discomfort.
The garden fork handle is made from 100% FSC-certified hardwood, and the tines themselves are made from specially hardened and tempered stainless steel. The ease of use and durability make it a must-have for any gardener, particularly when working on your raised beds.
If you're looking for a regular, hand-held, or small garden fork – we've got them all. Shop online at WM James & Co today.
FAQs
What Type of Garden Fork Should I Use for My Raised Beds?
The Burgon & Ball Stainless Steel Hand Fork is the best option for raised beds due to its ergonomic design and durable materials. It's lightweight and easy on your wrists, making it comfortable for extended use. The specially hardened and tempered stainless steel tines are also ideal for working in compact soil.
Should I Choose a Long-Handled or Short-Handled Digging Fork?
If you don’t mind getting down and dirty in the soil, or you’re working on a small patch, a short-handled fork will be just fine. However, for larger gardens or those with back problems, a long-handled fork will provide more comfort and leverage.
Do I Need a Garden Fork?
Well-maintained, aerated soil is necessary for plants to be strong and healthy. Forks make this task easy. They are simple tools, but very effective!
Is a Garden Hand Fork Good for Weeding?
Yes. They are good for digging over a bed where shallow-rooted weeds have started to grow. The tool is small, so it'll be easy to get in between flowers and vegetables.
How Do You Safely Use a Garden Fork?
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and push the fork into the soil. Press down on the shoulder of the blade with your foot for added pressure. Hold firmly with two hands, with one hand closer to the blade. Avoid twisting your body too much whilst digging.
