Niwaki Forked Hand Hoe
Niwaki Forked Hand Hoe
The Niwaki forked hand hoe is a Japanese 3-pronged hoe for the digging, weeding and planting.
Whilst a traditional large garden fork is perfect for turning over a veg patch before planting or creating a new border, I've always found them awkward to use around existing plants.
This Niwaki forked hand hoe is designed to be used with a chopping motion, like an axe, or as a rake. This makes it great for working within existing borders or for more precision weeding.
It's a little over 40cm long which means you have enough handle length to give it a good chop without it becoming difficult to wield. It only weighs 466grams.
It's construction is fairly rustic and agricultural - but as a result it should hold up well to general garden use.
The prongs are 120mm long and 100mm wide.

We have one of these and it's excellent so we were buying one as a present for a friend.
We bought a card through the site too and Louise made sure that everything was sorted and delivered on time. Thanks so much.
Great hand hoe, particularly good for making furrows and chopping out networks of roots of certain grasses etc. I wouldn't use this as a replacement for a normal hand fork as the technique used is different, but both have their own strengths.
