Broadfork DE WIT 40 cm, 5 forged tines, with bracket

DE WIT broadfork or aerator, 40 cm bracket width, with a working width of 23 cm and 5 extra hardened steel tines with a thickness of 10 mm, total height 105 cm, and the bracket height without stakes is 80 cm. This broadfork is also called a Grelinette or compost fork. This professional version features a sturdy tubular frame and ergonomic design.

With this broadfork, you can easily loosen the top layer in the ornamental garden or vegetable garden. It is also used as a lawn aerator or for loosening compost.

The strong forged tines of the broadfork are suitable for virtually all soil types. Even a heavily compacted top layer can be worked thanks to its robust construction. Thanks to the leverage of the broadfork, you can work with relatively little effort.

Soil cultivation with a broadfork or cultivator is a good alternative to ground stakes. By loosening the soil, important nutrients, microorganisms, and other soil life remain preserved in the top layer.

When weeding, a broadfork also offers a solution. By loosening the top layer, weeds can be removed easily.

In addition, soil cultivation with a broadfork keeps the soil structure better intact. This ensures better moisture balance and drainage in the top layer. This helps plants get through both dry and wet periods better.

All of this together contributes to better growing conditions, less weed pressure, and healthier crops in the vegetable garden and ornamental garden.

With a broadfork, you always work backward. You hold the bracket away from you so it faces forward. With one foot on the bracket, you press the stakes into the soil.

Then you pull the bracket backward, causing the soil to loosen. With a twisting motion, you loosen the soil further. If needed, you can use the stakes to break up larger clumps a bit more.
