Occasionally the garden requires some heavy work in difficult conditions – the new Sneeboer Long Handled Fork and Mattock is tough enough to cope with almost all soil types and situations. This ingenious Sneeboer design pairs a robust mattock blade with a sharp, three-tined fork in a 23cm wide head, allowing you to both break up the most compacted soil and create a reasonable tilth - without changing tools. This double-purpose tool gets to grips with cultivating soil and decimating weeds and is particularly good when you need to work between plants.

The fork side is great for loosening up compacted soil and the mattock blade can chop away and dig in deeply for weeds as well as making seed drills or thinning out.

Need a hand getting to those awkward weeds? You know the ones, between decking, cracks, rocks and edges that always seem so persistent and just a little too defiant! Well, here’s the Sneeboer Long-Handled Weeding Finger and although equally adept at spot weeding, it also has the versatility that makes for accurate easy drill drawing in a seed bed. The long handle gives that extra bit of reach too (so perfect for raised bed tending or weeding specific areas such as corners or the back of borders). In the Kitchen Garden this Finger gets the ‘thumbs up’ for being such a good ‘helping hand’!
