    What do you think of this style of weeding fork?

    It would help if you could post a picture of the fork, DWS.

      For that sort of money Dan, I think I would buy a good strong garden fork.

        I've not tried those. However my home-made one proved to be rubbish: http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...44443-fork.jpg

          I think the 3/4/5 tine garden claw type would be more efficient,one with a T handle even more so.

          Similar to .........

            I have a tool a wee bit similar to that Dan, though it's got an extra part to lever soil with

            Amazon.com : Flexrake CLA329 Classic Dandelion Weeder : Hand Weeders : Patio, Lawn & Garden

            To be honest, I've found it quite ineffective and often the roots snap in the ground- I prefer a sharp narrow trowel to properly dig out the weed roots

                  Is that tool broken or just bent really bad? (just kidding)

                  I think Garden Weasel makes a similar product.

                  Thanks for inserting the pictures in my post.

                    I have to say, it depends on the weeds you are dealing with DWS. In my case I use a fork instead of a spade to deal with turning the earth over and digging up longer rooted weeds like docks, nettles, dandelions and bindweed. A two pronged daisy fork is designed to work on daisies in lawns. I also use a border fork - narrower than a full sized fork- because I am an old lady and am giving myself an easier job digging over my beds.
