The garden rake is ideal for preparing and leveling sowing beds, to collect material between the tines and to crumble the ground in the garden. This allows for better aeration of the soil and for improved mixing of compost or other soil enhancers. When the rake is flipped upside down with the tines skyward, the horizontal beam can used to level the seedbed. The tines are forged, sharpened and bent inwards to improve the push-and-pull motion. The garden rake is the perfect tool to clean up the garden. The garden rake with five tines is less wide than the rake with eight tines allowing you to work with more precision in the garden.
