The digging fork is a versatile and complementary tool to the spade, designed for digging, loosening, cultivating, and breaking up the soil deeply. It is much more suitable than the spade for working on difficult, rocky, clayey, heavy, and compacted soils. It loosens the soil without turning it over, simply by penetrating with the tines. Unlike the spade, this garden tool does not disturb the soil's microbial life and does not cut through earthworms, which are essential for soil health and fertility. It can be used to pull out weeds, as well as certain vegetable plants (leeks, potatoes, carrots, turnips), and to divide large clumps of perennial plants. It is also used to uproot and transplant plants, remove stones, and bring up pest larvae.

This model consists of an ash handle with a crutch end, which is very hard, lightweight, and weather-resistant. The metal ferrule protects the handle from wood rot. It accommodates the hand-forged 4-tine fork, made of polished stainless steel that is resistant to shocks, twisting, and corrosion. This polished steel fork offers less resistance when penetrating the soil. The handle, ending with a T-grip, multiplies the force: the grip allows for applying the full weight to drive the head into the ground. The handle of this tool is compostable, and the steel head is recyclable.
