De-wit-spork
We believe that the Spork is destined to become one of the must-have garden tools and will become an essential part of every gardeners tool collection.
In October 2008 it was voted 'Testers favourite by 'Which? Gardening' magazine.In the 'Which? Gardening' trial the Spork was pitched against 9 other border tools by a team of professional gardeners.
The trial was conducted over 4 weeks and all tools were assessed for a range of tasks: loosening and turning soil, clearing weeds and planting perennials and shrubs.
Seven of the eight Which? testers would happily buy a Spork and 3 would even swap their conventional spade for one.
The serrated cutting edge was sharp and easily cut through soil and small roots.
The Spork is good for digging, planting and turf edging. 'Its an ideal compromise between a spade and a fork -I would definitely buy one said one tester. "Its great for clay/loam soils, good for digging and turning over soil, and for breaking up compacted ground," said another.
It was light and comfortable to use thanks to the longer length handle.Source 'Which? Gardening' October 2008The Spork was designed by Englishman Robert Todd but is made by De Wit in Holland.
It is made from carbon steel with a special burnished finish that protects the metal and allows it to blacken with age like the tools in Edwardian times.
