When digging garden beds - Get the right tool for the job.... Use a broadfork!

 I answered a call this morning from a local gardener who just had to get a broad fork today;.. as in Right Now!
After a long ordeal with her BCS tiler that only scratched the surface of her central Virginia clay soil garden plots. The sweet potato slips waiting it out in a glass jar,.. just itching to grow...



The call came in around 10:45 on Saturday morning.
By noon she was using her new broadfork. - faster and easier than her smaller wooden handled fork.
With all the planting that needed to get done in her garden she said the Bulldog (Clarington Forge) fork she had would have taken forever. 
Based on my experience with our broadfork, what would have taken two or three days of digging will now be able to be done in a day or two.
Our gardening neighbor said it was great to have a tool that was quieter than a tiller so she could start gardening earlier and not bother the neighbors.
Before I left she reminded me of what Mr. Natural always said...
...and so she did!
