Buying guide: Digging & Cultivating

Digging and cultivating tools break up, turn and level soil, and keep beds free of weeds. This category covers digging and border spades and forks, Dutch, draw, onion and push-pull hoes, soil and lawn rakes, hand trowels, hand forks and cultivators, interchangeable-head tool systems, replacement handles and handle repair kits, and children's garden tools.

Spades and forks

Digging spades and forks have a large head for turning over open ground. Border spades and forks are lighter with a smaller head, for digging in borders and between established plants. A tread on top of the blade is more comfortable under your foot. Check that the handle length and grip style, such as a T, D or Y grip, suit your height and hands.

Blade material

Stainless steel: resists rust and soil slides off it, so it needs little care. It suits occasional gardeners.
Carbon steel: stronger and tougher, suited to heavy digging and cutting through roots, but it rusts unless you clean, dry and oil it after use.

Hoes, rakes and hand tools

A Dutch hoe is pushed back and forth just under the surface to slice through weeds; a draw hoe is pulled towards you and also moves soil, for example to draw a seed drill. Hoe on a dry day so the cut weeds dry out and die rather than re-rooting. For deep-rooted perennial weeds, use a fork to ease out the whole root, as chopped pieces can regrow. A soil rake levels and breaks down soil for sowing, while a lawn or leaf rake gathers moss and leaves. Hand trowels, forks and cultivators suit planting and weeding in borders and containers.
