In October 2008 Spork™ was voted “Testers” favourite by Which? Gardening magazine.
In the Which? Gardening trial the Spork™ was pitched against nine other border tools by a team of professional gardeners. The trial was conducted over four weeks and all tools were assessed for a range of tasks:
- loosening and turning soil
- clearing weeds
- planting perennials and shrubs.
Seven of the eight Which? testers would happily buy a Spork™ and three would even swap their conventional spade for one.
The serrated cutting edge was sharp and easily cut through soil and small roots. The Spork™ is good for digging, planting and turf edging.
“an ideal compromise between a spade and a fork -I would definitely buy one” said one tester.
“great for clay/loam soils, good for digging and turning over soil, and for breaking up compacted ground,” said another. It was light and comfortable to use thanks to the longer length handle.
