I always look at what tools are for sale at the carboot sales.
I immediately recognised the potato 🥔 fork on the right. It's got steel baubles on the bottom of the fork tines. This prevents the potato digger from puncturing the new potatoes. I often put my fork through them.
The man wanted 40 Euros for it. I wanted the potato fork very much but I wasn't paying that for it.
Next to the potato 🥔 fork is a slain. That was or can be used for digging peat or ' turf' they call it here in Ireland.
The slasher with the long handle was used for cutting brambles and briars.
All very useful tools that require hard physical work.
All nice and new and clean looking. And prices accordingly I suppose. You want something preloved.
ReplyDeleteYou do need one of those potato diggers. You're the potato king
Thanks for the grand title Linda.😀
DeleteThat's a bit steep for an old potato fork. Shame you couldn't haggle it down.
ReplyDeleteI would have paid twenty Euros for it JayCee. Perhaps I could get number one son to well some metal blobs on one of my garden forks?
