Garden Fork?

[troutfisher]

I wonder if anyone can help.
Some time ago I had cause to pay a gardener to tidy up my garden. one of the tools he was using was like a fork but instead of the tines being in a line there were 4 tines one at each corner of a square ( imagine two U shapes welded together to form a cross) it was very easy to use with a twisting motion to loosen the soil to a depth of about 4 inches, but was no use for general digging.
I wonder if anyone has come across such a thing , I have asked my gardening friend but he has never seen one.
Anyone got any ideas.

When I read gardening related threads like this it reminds me of a retired doctor I once knew from the local pub. The topic of conversation once drifted on to gardening while we were enjoying a pint or two at the bar, and he announced "Gardening is a man's job.... and fortunately I have a man to do it!". The more the years pass, the more wise I think he was!
