Top Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Forks & Hoes
Choose the Right Tool for the Job
For heavy digging and breaking up compacted soil, go for a sturdy digging fork. For weeding and cultivating soil, a dutch hoe or draw hoe will make your life easier. When working in smaller areas or delicate beds, consider a border fork for precision.
Keep Your Tools Sharp
A sharp hoe or fork works more efficiently, cutting through soil and roots with ease. Regularly clean and sharpen the blades to maintain peak performance.
Use the Right Grip
For comfort and to avoid strain, ensure you're holding your hoe or fork correctly. Use your body weight rather than just your arms to push the tool through the soil, letting the tool do the work for you.
Extend Your Reach with Telescopic Handles
When working on larger plots or reaching over raised beds, telescopic handles like those from WOLF-Garten are a game-changer. They extend to give you more reach, so you can tackle big tasks without bending over or stretching too much.
Don’t Forget to Clean Your Tools
After each gardening session, give your tools a quick rinse to remove dirt and mud. This will keep them in top condition and prevent rust. Consider using a tool oil to lubricate metal parts, keeping them working smoothly for longer.
Timing is Everything
For optimal results, use your hoes and forks during the right season. Spring and early summer are great times to cultivate and weed, while autumn is ideal for turning soil and preparing it for winter.
Protect Your Hands
If you're doing a lot of digging or cultivating, consider wearing gardening gloves to protect your hands from blisters or scratches.
