Spreading a thick layer of mulch in the garden and planting beds is one of the best things you can do this time of year. A wide ensilage fork with narrow-spaced tines will help transfer the debris from the mulch pile to the wheelbarrow fast and efficiently. You can move large amounts of material at once, saving you time instead of burning daylight during the shortened fall days. A fork can also be used to turn your compost so that come spring, you will have rich compost ready for garden beds.
