Here’s some instructions,
tips and tricks to get the most
from your broadfork.
First of all, here’s a video for all of you visual learners.
How to broadfork
Push the broadfork tines into the soil.
Repeat the process along the bed, every 12 inches/ 30 cm
Use your body weight to push the tines in deeper
Pull back the handles and crack the soil open slightly. The aim is to introduce air but not displace the soil.
