BROADFORK GARDEN TOOL

A broadfork, also known as a grelinette, is an essential tool for small-scale farming and gardening using a no-till approach to soil preparation. The broadfork lifts and aerates soil without shredding it as a motorized tiller does. Broadforks are also excellent for heavy-duty weeding, and they can be an assist for harvesting root crops. The CobraHead Broadfork is produced by Structures Co., Inc., of Cambridge, Wisconsin. The design is a joint effort between Noel Valdes of CobraHead and Craig Carpenter of Structures Co. The fork uses a traditional European broadfork design but with a unique tine mounting system where the tines are mounted through the crossbar instead of being welded to the outside of the crossbar. The 5/8" (15.9mm) tines are made of 1045 carbon steel, strong steel with excellent resistance to bending. Benefits Light Weight: 14 lbs Strength: through the crossbar tine mounting – 1045 tine steel Round tines: lift soil, unlike flat blade tines Easier cleanup than outside m
