Description
The aim of this tool is to work the soil deeply with minimum effort, ventilating the soil and breaking it up but without turning it over so as not to disrupt microbial life.
There are many tools to work the soil without turning it over: among these are the Biogrif, Actibêche, Biofourche, GrelinetteTM … but only the GUERILU spading fork brings together all the soil working and ergonomic features in one tool. It was developed by a physiotherapist gardener and a blacksmith who pooled their experience to create a new solid and effective tool. The wide opening between the handles allows for the passage of the body while keeping the back straight.
Operating principle
The aim of this tool is to work the soil deeply with minimum effort, ventilating the soil and breaking it up but without turning it over so as not to disrupt microbial life.
How it works: The GUERILU has five 10, 25 and 20 cm long prongs that, once sunk into the soil will be tilted to lift it up and break up the soil by a forward and backward movement.
To minimise effort, the lever principle is used: with a 1 m long handle the effort is divided by 5 or 6. The arch-shaped support is also good for breaking up the soil by rocking the tool from left to right. This soil fragmentation is facilitated by the alternating shorter and longer prongs.
Ergonomics: The GUERILU has been designed to optimize your effort and avoid the aches that come from digging.
The prongs are inclined in such a way as to drive them vertically into the ground when holding the tool with outstretched arms
The 2 arms are sufficiently wide apart to allow for the passage of the body enabling work to be done while keeping the back still straight.
The two handles fixed perpendicularly to the arms allow for a good grip on the tool regardless of its position. In addition, the large spacing between the 2 handles focuses more strength on the fragmentation work by rocking the tool from left to right.
The arch-shaped support is ideal for airing the soil and fragmentation work by rocking from left to right.
A new way to work the soil
* Airs the soil deep down without turning it over so as to preserve microbial life.
* Ergonomically designed, it enables fast and efficient work with a minimum of effort.
* No more aches from digging.
* Robust galvanized steel build.
* “Chisel quality” steel prongs.
* Suitable for dry land, with a harder surface.
Prong length 10, 20 and 25 cm,
Working width +/- 30 cm, weight 5 kg.
