Equipped with a handle and several (usually four) short, sturdy tines, a garden fork is designed for loosening, lifting and turning over soil in gardening and farming. Compared with a spade, a garden fork is better in many circumstances though it is used similarly to a spade. It is easier for the implement to be pushed into the ground. It is able to rake out stones and weeds and break up clods, and it does not cut through weed roots or root-crops. Now the majority of garden forks are made of carbon steel or stainless steel instead of the original wood.
Unlike pitchforks which are used for moving loose materials such as piled hay, compost, or manure, garden forks feature a fairly short, usually wooden handle, with a “D” or “T” end. The tines are comparatively flatter, thicker, shorter, and more closely spaced.
