Name the Tool Competition
1st Name the Tool Competition & answer
2nd Name the Tool Competition :
Whilst our ‘mature’ gardening friends are searching in the back of their sheds for another tool to fox the modern-day gardener, we are presenting a recent tool devised by TopVeg for the 2nd Name the Tool Competition.
The question is ‘What is this tool used for?’
Please enter your suggestions in the comment section below.
Is it a soil aerator or an old fashioned pitch fork?

Hi Topveg,
One of my readers just left a comment on my post saying, “Hi Sara,I went there because I was sure it was an aerator but since they already said that wasn’t it, I didn’t guess. Looks like we both had the same idea. It looks like my aerator but mine has a shorter handle and wider forks. Carver”
The mystery continues!

Nothing as exotic as a mushroom or garlic picker!
Thanks for having a go

Is it an aerator for use on a lawn or other compacted piece of ground?

Hi Alice
Thanks for entering our competition. I am afraid that the tool is not an aerator, although a lot of people think it is!

Hi Topveg,
This Is My Patch said “Are you sure it isn’t just a broken fork …!!!”
What a sense of humour - I told them it was definately not broken!!!
