A garden fork is a tool used for digging, loosening, and turning over soil in gardening and farming. It typically consists of a long handle made of wood, plastic, or metal, attached to a set of four sturdy tines, or prongs, made of steel or other durable material. The times are often slightly curved and pointed, allowing them to easily penetrate and aerate soil. The fork is used by driving the times into the soil and then lifting and turning the soil over, which helps to loosen and aerate it. This makes it easier for plants to grow healthy roots and for water and nutrients to reach them. Garden forks come in different sizes and shapes, with some having shorter handles and smaller tines for lighter work and others having longer handles and larger tines for heavy-duty tasks. Some garden forks also have ergonomic handles designed for a more comfortable grip and reduced strain on the hands and wrists.
