Soil Preparation

A broadfork is a simple tool that has existed is some form or fashion for at least 50 years, but probably existed in some primitive form for centuries. 

The broadfork works by lifting and loosening soil with minimal inversion of natural soil layers. The result is the reversing soil compaction, increased water infiltration, decreased runoff, incorporation of organic matter, reduced weed pressure, and ease of transplanting or seeding.
