Any gardener understands that proper cultivation of the land and the creation of beds play an important role in the success of growing garden crops. The basic rules are to dig it up 2 times per season, thoroughly loosening and removing weeds. After such procedures, the surface is leveled for planting. To perform any of the actions, you will need a special tool. Today there are devices that combine all these functions.

Features and differences

It would be more correct to say that the miracle shovel is more likely not a shovel in the literal sense of the word, but a soil ripper. Since with its help they do not dig the earth, but thoroughly loosen it. Most often, such a tool consists of two, in very rare cases - one, strips on which the pins are located. Some models are equipped with a backgauge which makes digging heavy earth easier. Visually, the shovel-ripper resembles more double forks.

What can

The shovel pitchfork has a lot of functionality. When performing work in the garden, a super-shovel can immediately replace:

  • Rake;
  • Pitchfork;
  • Ram;
  • Manure spreader;
  • Digger for potatoes.

This is not just a tool change, but also a significant reduction in labor. With the help of a miracle shovel, you can not only dig up the ground to a given depth, but also level its surface. This tedious process becomes quick and easy. Replaces a similar shovel and cultivator.

With this tool, you can dig up potatoes without damaging the roots, collect foliage and perform many gardening and gardening activities.

Important! When working with such a shovel, only the arms and legs are involved, and not the back, since you do not need to bend often, bending over and straightening.

You can use the miracle shovel exclusively on previously cultivated land

You can use the miracle shovel only on the previously cultivated land, it is not able to cope with virgin soil.

Advantages and disadvantages

The biggest plus of a smart shovel is that it makes digging the ground easier. Another advantage is that after working with such a shovel, a person feels less tired than after working with a traditional one.

Also, many people choose such a tool due to the fact that the time for processing the garden is significantly reduced.

Minus one - the large weight of the device. But it does not need to be constantly lifted like a bayonet. The super-shovel is simply dragged along the surface of the earth while digging.

On a note. You need to lift it two times: when you install it at the beginning of the row and when you finish work.

How to work

Using a miracle shovel for digging the earth gives a lot of advantages when digging: your back does not get tired, the creation of beds is much faster.

The digging process is simple manipulations

During work, the earth is located between the stop and the forks, it turns out that at the same time the soil is dug up and loosened.

The digging process consists in simple manipulations: first, the pitchfork is stuck into the ground, then the black is lowered. Remove the shovel after each lowering. Similarly, repeat the movement from row to row.

Digging and digging a vegetable garden is now much easier and faster.

On a note. The tool is suitable for everyone, both women and elderly people can cope with such manipulations.

Design features

Bayonet shovel

By their design, miracle shovels can vary. These instruments have various names. You can often find shovels called "Plowman", "Tornado", "Digger" and many others. Each of them has its own characteristics, but the constructive principle of operation is the same in all cases.

Plowman

Ripper without front stop

A similar device is similar to everyone else. The basis is the supporting and working elements, represented by the forks, but this clever shovel does not have a front stop. This is precisely its design feature. Such structures are lighter and less overall. But this is not very important when working, while the lack of a front stop makes it less stable.

Such devices consist of two main elements:

  1. Working forks, to which the handle is welded.
  2. Forks for support, to the comb of which the backgauge is fixed using welding.

Digger

This variety is represented by wider forks that are connected to a stop. A powerful comfortable handle complements the entire structure. Features of this design are the presence of a stop and an adjustable handle. The stop in the shovel and digger is also movable. After the structure is immersed in the ground, the support is pressed with a foot and the contents of the root vegetable bed are turned out. Why the tool is turned inside out and rearranged.

Digger

On a note. It is easy to work with such a device, so the digging process is faster. But this miracle device is not capable of crushing the soil, so you should not use it for heavy and lumpy areas.

Easycop

The device is distinguished by a rounded stop and a handle that is not adjustable. The forks for digging are made in a similar way, and the principle of operation is the same. This is a fairly light construction that will help you quickly dig up the ground. You can understand which of the devices is better only by trying both options in practice.

What and how to make

Shovel in the car

If there is no way to buy such a device, do not be upset. It is easy to make it yourself.

Important! As you can see, all devices differ in the number of components and materials required to perform assembly work. The cross section and characteristics are the same for all.

Materials for making

Before making a wonderful shovel with your own hands, you should prepare the source material.

Miracle Shovel Blueprint

To create a frame, it is necessary to use a profiled pipe with a diameter of 3x3 cm, with a wall thickness of 3 mm or more. For some models, a corner may be needed (shelf width - 3 cm, wall thickness - 3 mm).

The handle can be made from a similar profiled pipe. Some models allow the use of wood handles, like an auger for a regular shovel.

Particular attention should be paid to the manufacture of the forks. Strong structural steel is required here. Bars for the production of working forks teeth must be at least 8 mm in diameter.

Interesting fact. Craftsmen very easily found a solution, which helps in such a situation. They cut teeth on simple forks, cut machine springs into narrow strips, or straighten strong springs such as suspensions. You can choose many options, the main thing is that the original steel is strong.

Dimensions

Modern manufacturers offer their customers tools that can self-dig, loosen and level, of various sizes. This is done so that a person can pick up a miracle shovel on his own, because each one is different in height and complete set.

Miracle shovel ripper

Most often, structures are made with the following dimensions:

  1. The width of the working section is 45-60 cm. Too large structures are harder to use, which can reduce productivity.
  2. Fork bayonets can be 22-30 cm long.
  3. The length of the handle should be chosen at your discretion. This is done according to the height.
  4. The optimal spacing between the pins is 7-8 cm.

All other characteristics are selected during manufacture.Depending on the chosen design, model and material used, the parameters may vary.

Blueprints

Before you start making individual elements of the super-blade, you should create a detailed diagram of the tool. Each drawing should contain detailed descriptions with indication of dimensions, elaboration of details. This will take a significant amount of time, but it will help create a convenient tool in the end. It is very difficult to get what you want without a drawing; this can only be achieved by an experienced craftsman who is already making not the first miracle shovel.

As you can see, you can simplify your work on the site with a simple mechanism. If you have certain skills and knowledge of working with metal, then you can make a miracle shovel yourself. A homemade tool is more cost effective.
