PC725 - Lee Valley Rock Rake
Any gardener who is plagued with stones, large or small, will appreciate this rake. In designing it, we spent a lot of time getting the right tine shape and spacing so that rocks as small as 3/4" diameter could be winnowed from the soil without taking a lot of dirt as well.
In well-tilled soil, it is an easy matter to clear the top 2" or 3" completely of stones. Once you have raked together a pile of stones, you can scoop them up in the basket-shaped head. No more stooping to pick them up or trying to rake them onto a spade. The rock rake picks them up for transfer to a wheelbarrow or bucket, or even for surreptitious dropping over a fence. It can also be used to catapult the stones some distance.
The whole tool is light (the head weighs only 3/4 lb) and has hardened steel tines that flex without deforming. 65" overall, with a 6" wide basket. In our tests, we found it to be an outstanding invention, removing all rocks from 3/4" to 4" in diameter, leaving a smooth stone-free soil. Also ideal for harvesting potatoes.
An excellent tool. Made in Canada.
First, rake the stones into a pile in well-tilled soil. The tines are shaped and spaced to separate stones from 3/4" to 4" in diameter from the surrounding dirt. Then tip the head forward to scoop the pile into the basket for transfer to a wheelbarrow or bucket.
The tines are designed to collect stones from 3/4" to 4" in diameter, leaving smaller grit and soil behind.
The head weighs only 3/4 lb, making the overall tool light and easy to use for extended sessions.
Yes. Using the same scooping action that collects stones, the basket head also gathers potatoes from loosened soil.
