14 cm Spear & Jackson forged mattock

This 14 cm Spear & Jackson forged mattock is very robust with its forged steel head and socket and its beech handle! It is a tool that operates similarly to a pickaxe and is specifically designed with its 14 cm wide blade for the preparation of heavy soils. Use it to clear, break up, loosen, and turn over your sticky soils to aerate them and dig furrows for your vegetable crops and seedlings. Its 110 cm handle makes it useable without excessive bending. 10-year warranty.

The mattock is a basic tool, designed for weeding without the use of chemicals and working the soil on the surface. Its heavy and wide head is specially adapted for breaking up the surface and deeply opening even compact and heavy soils. Closer to a pickaxe than a hoe, it can be used to crumble and lighten the top layer of soil after digging, uproot weeds and earth up vegetables, which means gathering soil into a mound around their base or even digging shallow holes and furrows for planting. Like the hoe, the mattock can loosen the top layer of soil, to aerate it all around the cultivated plants in the vegetable garden or ornamental garden. It also helps to prevent the formation of a compacted layer that appears after watering or rain in clayey or loamy soils. This hard and compact layer, which is very difficult to rehydrate and suffocating for plants, also promotes the rise of water to the surface and its evaporation. Working the soil on the surface after watering limits water evaporation. This model is equipped with a forged steel head for better resistance to wear. Its steel socket ensures a perfectly stable connection between the head and the handle and easy replacement of the handle. With a length of 110 cm and a beech T-handle, it is a sturdy and ergonomic tool even in cold weather. Its perforated end has a galvanized hook for hanging. The wooden handle is compostable while the metal head is recyclable.
