A rake is a simple yet essential hand tool used in agriculture and gardening for tasks such as leveling soil, removing debris, gathering leaves or grass, and breaking up clumps in the soil. It typically consists of a long handle attached to a horizontal bar with evenly spaced metal or plastic tines. In farming, rakes help prepare seedbeds by smoothing the soil and removing stones or weeds, ensuring better seed-to-soil contact and uniform growth. There are different types of rakes, such as garden rakes (with strong, straight metal tines for soil work) and leaf rakes (with flexible tines for collecting light materials like leaves). Using a rake improves soil aeration and drainage and can also aid in mixing compost or fertilizer into the topsoil. Lightweight, durable, and easy to use, rakes are a must-have tool for small-scale farms, gardens, and landscaping. Regular cleaning and proper storage help extend their lifespan.
