Why Use A Broadfork?The broadfork allows you to till and aerate your growing beds by hand, using a natural motion that's easy on your body. It provides an alternative to noise, pollution, fossil fuel use and ground compaction. The broadfork looks similar to a pitchfork, but is larger, stronger and heavier, with longer tines. To use, you stand on the cross bar, push the handles front-and-back, using your body weight to work the tines into the ground. Stepping off the broadfork, pull back on the handles just a bit to loosen and aerate the soil around the tines, or all the way to the ground to completely turn over the soil. Compared to a shovel or pitchfork, using the broadfork gives you a balanced workout of the upper body, without so much lifting, twisting and straining. Meadow Creature's broadfork is unique in its single-piece welded construction. There are no wood handles to break, no bolted connections to come loose. |
