Harvester - Manual Harvester - 20 centimeters - Ash wood handle - 160 cm

The secret to a good potato harvest? Perhaps the regular earthing of the potatoes. With this ridging tool from Talen Tools you cover the potato plant with soil to give the underground stems an extra boost. This way they develop even more potatoes. Earthing is done when the stems are about 15 to 20 centimeters above the ground. Generally, the potato plant reaches this height four weeks after planting. You use this galvanized ridging plough with a working width of 20 centimeters. This gardening tool is made of sturdy steel for easy soil loosening. Clean and dry the steel well after use. A coat of oil or Teflon spray can help the tip stay sharp longer. This makes the process of ridging less arduous.

Raise the potato plants
You place the steel tip of the ridger in the soil. Do this in between two rows of potato plants, creating a mound when you pull the ridger back toward you. This will put the plants on a mound, which also reduces the likelihood of weeds developing between the potato plants. In addition, you also reduce the chance of moisture damage this way, as rainwater flows more quickly into the resulting trench. If you want to increase the chances of a good harvest, repeat the process of planting the potatoes at least twice. Generally, this is just under a month in between.

Waxed ash wood garden tools last longer
The long ash wood handle is ideal for raising and earthing potatoes with a long reach. To protect the wood, Talen Tools has applied a wax coating to the handle. This makes the wood more comfortable to hold and extends its life. The wax keeps the wood strong and also keeps the natural look longer. With a length of 160 centimeters, it is important that you do not overstretch your shoulders when you want to pull the earth towards you. Does it feel uncomfortable? Then make sure to relax a bit more and stretch your shoulders less.
