Compost forks are also called manure forks. As the name shows, the compost fork is a garden digging tool specially designed for garden fertilizer. The compost, fertilizer and mulch in the garden are actually kind of rotten organic matter, they are very conducive to the growth of garden plants. The compost fork is often used by gardeners as fertilizer for plant growth. However, as we all know, if we only apply compost to the garden soil and don't turn it often, such fertilizers will not absorb the soil. But if it is turned over frequently, the effect of composting will be faster. Gardeners use compost forks to loosen, aerate and transplant compost or fertilizer.

More tines means less space. This is the best choice to disperse the compost, because such a compost fork is less likely to be stuck by objects and affect its work efficiency.
The wider top of the composting fork is easy to pick up rocks and scattered materials. However, for those relatively coarse compost and waste, it is recommended to have fewer forks and wider forks to increase the gap between the forks.
The shape of the handle of the compost fork can be D-shaped or T-shaped. The soft and comfortable handle can reduce the fatigue of gardeners during excavation work. For those gardeners whose hands are relatively large and difficult to hold the D-handle, experts suggest that the T-handle is a good choice. It is worth mentioning that the width of the handle can also be adjusted and changed appropriately according to the gardener's preference and comfort.
