The digging fork (also known as the spading fork) is convenient for digging or turning over lighter soil types and for harvesting root vegetables. Like garden forks, digging forks most commonly have four tines. They are especially useful if you have heavy clay or compacted soil.

It is mostly practical for loosening, lifting and turning over soil in gardening and farming. It functions similarly to a spade, but in many circumstances it is more appropriate than a spade: the tines allow the implement to be pushed more easily into the ground, it can rake out stones and weeds and break up clods, it is not so easily stopped by stones, and it does not cut through weed roots or root-crops. Wood is the original material of garden forks but the majority now comprise of carbon steel or stainless steel.

Garden forks are slightly different from pitchforks, which come handy for moving loose materials such as piled hay, compost, or manure. Garden forks have comparatively a fairly short, usually wooden handle, with a “D” or “T” end. Their tines are usually shorter, flatter, thicker, and more closely spaced.
