A five-tine broadfork made of curved and galvanized metal

$285.95

The broadfork is an ergonomic tool used to loosen the soil without turning it over, unlike a traditional spade. It works on a lever principle: the tool is pushed vertically into the ground, and the handles are pulled back towards you while stepping back and moving the handles from right to left to break up the clods.

One of the first designs by Jean-Martin Fortier, author of the book The market gardener: manual of organic farming on small areas .

  • Composed of 5 robust, curved teeth made of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel.
  • This tool allows for efficient and effective soil aeration without the fatigue caused by traditional digging.
  • Ideal for aerating the soil in existing vegetable gardens in spring.
  • Do not use for plowing.
