A new take on the traditional tool used for harvesting potatoes without spearing your fork through them. A bar at the end of the tines protects the potatoes and allows the potatoes to be sifted from the soil. Forged from stainless steel with a hardwood handle.

When harvesting, loosen the soil around the base of the plants first, then lift them up from the ground. After harvesting potatoes, remember to leave them lying on the top of the soil for a few hours to dry off in the sun. Then brush off any excess soil and discard any that have been damaged. Then place in hessian sacks to extend their life.

Remember - you don’t need to harvest all your potatoes at the same time.

There is nothing more irritating than trying trying to remove weeds from the garden but always finding the roots get left in the ground, allowing them to re-grow again.

This 3 pronged weeder is an excellent way to tackle them once and for all - simply hold the weed in one hand, push the prongs into the crown of the plant, twist and remove - and voila! As with all the Sophie Conran tools although designed specifically with the female hand in mind, it is a great gift for any gardener.

With stainless steel prongs, solid brass ferrule and a gorgeous natural FSC waxed beech wood handle, which will over time mould to the shape of your hand.

A very special garden gift and comes in a beautiful tissue lined gift box.
