Our lightest tool for cultivating, mixing in soil amendments, and scratching the dirt.

Small crows foot on the left compared to our heavier duty and wider large crows foot.

Cultivators, contrary to what you might assume, help the ground retain moisture by loosening it up for a top layer dirt mulch.

This is the smaller of our two crows foot cultivators, it measures about 11 - 11 1/2 inches long, the head is about 3 - 3/12 inches across and is most suitable for use in beds with average to narrow spacing between plants. Use it to break up the soil to form a "dust mulch" that helps keep moisture in the soil by slowing evaporation, uproot emerging weed seedlings and work-in fertilizers and amendments. By the way, these tools got their start as nail rakes, dragging nails from a keg or bin into a bag or tray for weighing in old-time hardware stores. (Some still use them.) But they quickly found employment in the garden.

This was a gift for my Mother who is an avid gardener. She was thrilled. You can see that it is hand-forged and seems like a quality tool. Looks more like a piece of art. It came very quickly too.

Amazing !

The solid steel prongs power through the soil and the whole assembly is secured bolted to a gorgeous, smoothly polished wooden handle. This is the type of tool, that with proper care, will be something you can never expect to have to buy again as long as you live.
