When the asparagus tips are barely visible as they break through the ridge, carefully remove the soil around the asparagus by hand and hold it between your fingers. Guide the knife straight down, just beside the shoot. The long handle allows you to reach the \u003cstrong\u003ewhite asparagus\u003c\/strong\u003e just above the crown without damaging it. The bend at the tip, the widened blade and the sharp cutting edge let you slice through the delicate asparagus with a single swift movement. Holding the tip of the asparagus lets you feel when it has been cut. Carefully pull the asparagus upwards, then gently close the hole. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asparagus produces many shoots from a single crown over several months, so several spears at different stages of growth may be hidden in the ridge. Take care when removing the soil and cutting the asparagus to avoid damaging any shoots around the mature stalk you are harvesting.\u003cbr\u003eHarvesting \u003cstrong\u003egreen asparagus\u003c\/strong\u003e is much easier, as the shoots are clearly visible and mature spears can be cut every day without difficulty.\u003cbr\u003eThe knife makes it easy to remove \u003cstrong\u003edeep-rooted weeds\u003c\/strong\u003e without leaving large holes in the garden or lawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe handle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe axe handle is made of ashwood and ergonomically shaped, making it particularly comfortable to hold and helping to make the work easier. Its rounded back makes it especially effortless to use. Ash, a valuable raw material, grows across most of Europe, particularly in the northern foothills of the Alps, and is one of the most important hardwoods. Its wood is very dense and hard, yet highly elastic and easy to work with. Thanks to its excellent mechanical properties, ash is ideal for high-quality garden and outdoor tools. It is strong and durable, and pleasant to the touch. The wood is varnished to protect it better against moisture and dirt. Our organic digging fork is made entirely without environmentally harmful materials; even the handle is untreated and therefore free of harmful substances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHarvesting asparagus \n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRemoving weeds \n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDeep penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: untreated ashwood \n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eKnife: hand-forged Swedish steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eKnife: L 31 x W 3 x H 3 cm \n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: L 14 x dia. 3 cm \n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 45 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e0.25 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Krumpholz-Werkzeuge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57802900799869,"sku":"4BKH1360","price":8.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/8485\/5586\/files\/20386-801e1bc4ba9414a9a511785b6124136e5cb1fa284747b90cb0033a640f560692.jpg?v=1789151132","url":"https:\/\/www.4betterdays.com\/en\/products\/spargel-und-unkrautstecher-aus-schwedenstahl-mit-14-cm-ergonomischem-eschengriff-inkl-gratis-schleifstein-handgeschmiedet-in-deutschland","provider":"4betterdays.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
