Broadfork Garden Tool

I've had one for 5 seasons and it is a work horse. Still as good as new. Can't go wrong with this broarf fork. Built like a tank!

Breaks up ground perfectly. Heavy duty and easy to use.

I am very pleased with this broadfork. I am 68 and wanted something to make weeding between the rows easier. I cannot believe how quick and easy it is to use. I saw it a couple of years ago but kept thinking I didn't really need it--definitely wish I had bought it then. It makes quick work of long roots and stolons. And it takes much longer for the weeds to grow back.

After I purchased a broadfork from a DIFFERENT company and used it in my raised bed no-till garden with very few rocks and soft earth, and after only two passes over the rows, the number 2 and 4 tines had twisted into pretzel shapes, I returned that fork and began researching higher-quality broadforks. I came across the COBRAHEAD and was immediately impressed with the 1/2" tines and the sturdy construction. I ordered it, and though there was delay in shipping due to illness at the manufacturing facility, it was definitely worth the wait. This fork is almost indestructible. I've done multiple flowerbeds, my raised garden rows, and broken up a grass-thatched strawberry bed. It hasn't even flinched! I'm very happy with the product, the quality, and the service from the company. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tool.

I received my broadfork last fall (2018), but only lately (in February 2019 ) have been able to use it in preparation for spring. I am 71, but in good health; however, I was worried the weight might wear me out in 10 minutes as I lifted and inserted it around the garden area. I used it for about an hour and it was much easier to use for the extended time than I anticipated. It was my first vigorous workout in the garden since last fall. I was sore the next morning, but it didn't last long. It was a good kind of sore you get after using lazy muscles. The soil was pretty moist and I have no rocks so it went very well. I think it was less tiring than using a shovel as I usually do when the vegetable garden has been invaded by weeds. As I like gardening activities for exercise, I think the broadfork is excellent as it uses muscles or arms, shoulders, back and legs although I need to alternate legs to keep them equally exercised. There are less expensive broadforks online, but in reading reviews of some of them, they aren't all made well. I don't think I will be having a problem with this one failing as long as I don't leave it outside to ruin the wooden handles. I loved using it.
