How to Use a Broadfork

Simply insert the tines into the soil at the end of your bed and step down on the crossbar, using body weight to insert deeply. Rock gently and pull back on the handles to aerate the soil without overturning it. After a 45° handle tilt, remove the tines and move to the next section. For new soil, a second pass might be necessary to fully establish aeration channels. For more information check out How to Use a Broadfork: Techniques for Healthier Soil and Stronger Plants
