I went to an estate auction a month or so ago and there were some gardening tools that were to be sold as a bundle. There was one tool in there that I have never seen (it was very old) and I wanted it so badly, but I didn't need any of the other stuff, so I left it there. I was wondering if anyone might be familiar with this tool. It looked almost like a tiny pitch fork, had a handle about 12 inches long, would have been perfect for raking around small plants and in tight places between plants. I mean this was very small. I've looked at all the home gardening stores around and tried several different searches on the internet to see if I could find one or something similar and had no luck. I need a metal worker to make me one I guess. It was really cool. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've seen adjustable rakes in the stores. You can slide something down the tines to narrow them to rake between plants. I'd love one!

I have a rake like that. This one was tiny. It would fit right up to a little plant.
