This alloy contains very small amounts of iron and is therefore minimally magnetic. <\/p>\n<p>Most of the work that used to be done with a spade is now done with a digging fork. It makes the work of digging and loosening easier, as its four slightly curved tines penetrate the soil much more effortlessly. It is particularly important for weedy areas. Once you get used to this garden tool, you will never want to do without it again.   <\/p>\n<h1>Advantages<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><b>No maintenance<\/b> necessary.<\/li>\n<li><b>No rust formation <\/b>(no verdigris either! see <a href=\"https:\/\/kupferspuren.at\/en\/informations\/why-copper\/patina-or-verdigris\/\">verdigris or patina<\/a>? ).<\/li>\n<li>They can be re-sharpened or beveled.<\/li>\n<li>They have an incomparably <b>longer service life<\/b> than iron appliances.<\/li>\n<li>Working with garden tools made of copper is <b>more energy-saving<\/b> due to the material properties.<\/li>\n<li>The natural tension field in our growing medium is hardly disturbed by the intervention with copper garden tools.
