Can anyone suggest a good, strong compost fork? I have two Biostacks, and I think it would be easier to turn the contents with one.
Thanks for any help.
I need a compost fork
Honeybee: I use a 10 tine fork like this, it works well.

I'm using this one from True Temper. It's called a spading-fork. The D-Ring handle makes it easy to lift and turn.

Karen, I saw the same 10 tine fork on Amazon and it was my first choice of the ones listed, but I thought I would ask here at Davesgarden for recommendations before ordering one.
Qinx - I've used spading forks in the past, and found them to be fine when moving around large clumps, but I wanted one with tines that are closer together.
I bought my at Home Depot a few years ago

Karen, I did check Lowe's, but will give Home Depot a lookie, although it's so much easier to order from Amazon and have it turn up on the doorstep a few days later.
While browsing I came across this fork.

I think I paid around $20 or $25 for mine. $70 plus postage is pretty steep.
And I have to say I don't take care of mine. It sits out in the weather all the time, beside my bins where it's handy. It's several years old, the handle is peeling. I'd hate to spend so much $ on a fork.

Think I'll go for the less expensive one, too. I keep my tools in an outdoor shed, so the weather should not affect it.
Tractor's Supply or Southern States if you have one around usually will have them on sale for about 16-18 dollars.
