- MATERIAL: Frame and handles are made from mild steel. Tines are hand forged from recycled leaf spring.
- SPECS: Overall length is approximately 5 feet.Handles are 4 feet long. Tines are 12” long.
- EXTREMELY DURABLE. Pass it on to the next generation.
- FINISH: This broadfork comes without a finish (raw steel) to allow for a more durable, longterm patina finish over time. Your broadfork should be left outside whenever possible until it is covered with a surface layer of rust. This can take up to two years. It can then be wiped with a boiled linseed oil for protection.
- Made by Ruben Irons in Brookland, Pictou Co, Nova Scotia.

Essentially a giant pitchfork with two handles, the broadfork works so well for hand tilling and aerating garden beds. It allows you to deeply till your soil and break up compaction with neither the noise, pollution, fossil fuel consumption and compaction of power equipment, nor the strain on your body caused by double digging with smaller garden tools. It allows you to maintain healthy soil structure and doesn't chop weed roots into a gazillion pieces like a rototiller/tractor does. We also use our broadfork for working compost into beds and for harvesting root veggies.
