There is always a lot of hard work at the summer cottage, but the most exhausting one is associated with digging the ground and removing weeds.

Digging a garden with an ordinary shovel takes up a lot of time and energy. But what if there is no way to use walk-behind tractors with cultivators or other agricultural machinery?

In this case, you can make a large shovel for digging a garden made of pitchfork and pieces of corner. It is also called a miracle shovel.

In this case, a shovel allows you to capture a section almost 50 cm wide at a time. And if instead of two welded three forks, you can dig even wider.

Design features

The design of the shovel itself is very simple. Of the three segments of the building angle 40 * 40 mm, the frame is welded in the form of the letter "P". Forks (2 pieces) are welded to the crossbar.

Pieces of a round bar with a diameter of 14-16 mm are welded at the corners for reinforcement. Steel strips can also be used.

Another piece of the corner is welded to the bottom of the shovel for reinforcement. However, in principle, you can do without it, so as not to burden the tool.

A handle is welded to the top of the shovel, it is made of a round steel pipe (thin-walled - to reduce weight).
