I'm using a "True Temper" fork bought in Woodies, doing the job in digging in new unbroken ground.

2 seasons I was lucky if I got 2 sessions out of a fork :)
at the minute I'm using a spear and jackson fork,I paid a bit extra for it but have it 1.5 years now
seems good enough and the ground I dig is really tough

My fave is the fiskars ergonomic but it's not economic at around £50!!

I wait until Tescos reduce theirs and the end of seaon and get 3 for the price of one. This means you always have a standby and they have lasted over a year.

I use a spear and Jackson flat tined fork, got it in Homebase about 3 years ago and still going strong, cost me about €35 at the time. Don't know how I went digging before, alot easier now.
