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

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

Soil cultivation with a broadfork or broadfork is a good alternative to Ground stake. By loosening the soil, important nutrients, microorganisms and other soil life in the top layer are preserved.

For weeding, a broadfork is also useful. By loosening the top layer, the weeds can be easily removed.

Furthermore, when the soil is worked with a broadfork, the soil structure remains better intact. This provides better moisture retention and drainage in the topsoil. This helps plants cope better with both dry and wet periods.

All of this together contributes to better growing conditions, reduced weed pressure and healthier crops in vegetable and ornamental gardens.

With a broadfork you always work backwards. You hold the bar away from you so that it faces forward. With one foot on the bar you press the tines into the soil.

Then pull the bar backward, which loosens the soil. With a twisting motion, work the soil further loose. If needed, you can use the prongs to loosen any larger clods a little more.
