I am thinking of getting a Broadfork. Does anyone have any experience of them? Are they as easy to use as the advertisements say?
Advice please, thanks.

They look great don't they, but expensive, so I've never bought one to try for myself.......... -

Just had a goggle at what they were,if you look on Mother earth News,it shows a diagram off a home made one,complete with measurments,,found another one on you tube,how to use them,i have tried without success to put the link up,it's not the same use as a garden fork,dig lift turn,it is press by the feet into the ground,the pushed back and forth,i presume to loosen and airyate the ground,a lot off money for what it is,sigpicAnother nutter ,wife,mother, nan and nanan,love my growing places,seed collection and sharing,also one of these

Yes, I saw that - you could make one assuming you're good at welding/metal fabricating.
Unfortunately I'm only proficient with a needle or sewing machine

Just been to look at one, a Friskas. Loose handles and tines not to mention expensive for what it is. I will keep looking but may just settle for using my Grandma's fork in the same way which must be all of 80 years old. Long fine tines and a D handle.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poetComment
