Best Lee Valley Border Fork

The lightweight, ergonomic design of this border fork makes it comfortable and easy to maneuver, while its compact size is ideal for preparing beds and borders, working in containers or tending to areas around existing plants.

Weighing 3 lb 6 oz, it stands about 41″ tall overall with a durable ash shaft set in a deep socket for excellent strength. The non-rusting stainless-steel head measures 9″ × 5 1/2″ long and has well-formed tips to easily penetrate soil.

The fork exceeds the British standard of 121 lb of prying force at the end of the handle without breaking; however, it is not indestructible, so it should not be used to uproot saplings or move boulders. As with any wood-handled tool, we do not recommend leaving it outdoors in the rain.

The border fork is also available in a set with a matching spade.
