Hand Fork Maintenance and Care
Hand fork maintenance and care |

Most hand forks will require little in the way of maintenance.
However, you should clean the tines of your fork every so often with a stiff-bristled brush to remove any caked-on soil. |

If your tool has a wooden handle, it should be conditioned periodically with linseed oil. Simply apply a small amount with a rag and rub in until the handle is coated with a thin layer of oil.
This will help protect and preserve the wood and prevent it from rotting so that your fork can be used for many years to come. |

After use, store your hand fork, along with your other gardening tools, in a dry place such as a shed to protect it from moisture which could cause rust. | |||
