How to use «Spreading» in context?
Before we get onto the nitty gritty details of discussing how to choose the perfect garden spading fork, let’s first dispel a common belief about gardening tools: All garden spading forks are created equal.
This is not true.
There are three types of garden spading forks: folding, straight and trowel-shaped. Each type of fork has its own unique characteristics that must be considered when finding the right one for your gardening needs.
Folding garden spading forks are the smallest and lightest option and are best used for filling small trenches or planting small seeds.
