Wolf Terrex Autospade This bizarre looking tool is a spade with a spring lever on the back to enable you to flip the soil out of the ground using a lever action rather than lifting. It was very popular and had a big following with lotties and allotmentalists (allotment holders) and gardeners with bad backs and large brains. Using the autospade required a special technique but once mastered large areas of soil could be dug rapidly and without strain. Due to it's relatively complicated design and specialist application the autospade was too expensive to be commercially viable and ceased production Old versions often can be found on ebay and command good prices. The main problem with an old autospade is likely to be broken springs which are more likely to occur if you dig into the soil without making a trench first. The new version is available now- and the spares also fit the original version - mail me for details.

The Fantastic Spork is back!
|
The Spork garden tool Another great digging tool, is again now available. Even Stronger AND Lighter! The Spork is an advanced and extremely strong fork that covers some of the functions of a trowel and hoe. I have used one for many years and have worked with the inventor Robert Todd. Sporks are made from the best Swedish boron steel and German ash. Designed by an Englishman and made by a Dutchman, this is a premium quality garden tool combining the latest design and materials with time tested craftsmanship.

This is the long handled Mattock Spork Also known as the PULL SPORK

The Pull Spork is seriously mean to weeds but kind to your back. |

The new Spork garden tools are made by Dewit of Holland and are top quality tools. The photo left shows my friends Sietse Dewit with Inventor Robert Todd launching the tools in Sept 2006. You can but these tools direct from me, they are designed for the serious gardener but also make wonderful presents that will last a lifetime. |

| The photograph on the right shows a traditional style garden
fork that has bent during everyday use. Garden forks are designed to be used in well cultivated soil by a fit and strong individual. Sadly many of us are not fit or strong and have difficult soil or overgrown gardens that destroy normal digging tools. This is why I have created this page on Alternative digging tools to help you find the right tool for your job and reduce the number of bent and broken forks and spades at the rubbish dump. |
