CHESTER SPRINGS, Pa., April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Owner and Inventor Steve Van Valin is set to launch the first ever one-arm gardening multi-tool this May. Through years of experience as a passionate gardener and professional garden designer Steve found a need for an easier way to mulch and plant your garden.
The Mulch Fork & Spade is an ergonomically designed one-arm gardening multi-tool for applying mulch and compost. It has an interchangeable spade attachment that makes it the perfect planting tool for perennials and annuals. Whether you are a backyard gardener or a professional landscape designer, the Mulch Fork & Spade is designed to relieve back and wrist strain typically inflicted from traditional gardening tools.
"Mulching basically sucks!" Steve said jokingly in response to the need for this gardening tool. "I wanted to make the process of mulching a lot easier." As an avid gardener himself, he stated, "Gardening is the ultimate creative environment. This invention is a result of spending many hours in the garden getting my hands dirty."
For anyone who struggles with the awkward and frustrating chore of mulching or composting their garden, The Mulch Fork & Spade brings ease and finesse to this often-strenuous task. The spade attachment provides incredible leverage and power to dig while keeping your wrist in a comfortable position and giving you a free hand for planting.
On May 11th, The Mulch Fork & Spade will be launching a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to take pre-orders for the first production run. The first 500 backers will receive an early adopter discount. The Mulch Fork & Spade will also be launching new gardening tool attachments making this the most dynamic gardening multi-tool on the market. For more information on how to pre-order please visit the website.
