Sneeboer Ground Elder Fork

Unlike a trowel that cuts through soil, the V-shaped teeth of this fork are designed to slide under root systems and lift them out intact. This is crucial for invasive weeds like ground elder, where leaving even a small piece of root behind can lead to regrowth.

Yes, the compact design and sharp tines make it excellent for harvesting root vegetables like potatoes, onions, and garlic. It allows you to lift the crop from beneath without piercing or damaging the produce.

Ash wood is a traditional choice for garden tools because it is both durable and shock-absorbent. The handle is shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, providing a secure grip even when you are applying leverage to lift stubborn roots.

Sneeboer uses high-quality stainless steel that is highly resistant to corrosion and rust. While it is built to last, we recommend wiping the tines clean and drying them after use to keep the metal in top condition.

The hand-forged construction makes this fork robust enough to handle dense or clay-heavy soils. However, because it is a hand tool, it is best used for precision work in established beds rather than breaking up hard, uncultivated ground.
