New Improved Prune Master Pruner Treatment and Sanitizer

Have you heard of the new Prune Master pruner treatment?

Many gardeners who have been using EZ-Cut Pruner Treatment or All-In-1 pruner treatment over the years have been wondering where that amazing plant disease neutralizer has gone to.

Well we're happy to say that there is a new formula now available that is Even Better!

The new formula is Prune Master and comes in a handy 4 ounce spray bottle that you can carry in your pocket or tool bag.

Like EZ-Cut and All-in-1, the new improved Prune Master formula still still cleans pruning tools, lubricates and prevents rust while sanitizing pruning tools and stopping the spread of diseases between plants or between cuts.

Prune Master is a non-toxic pruner treatment that has the pleasant herbal scent of Thyme and is a terrific pruner cleaner!
Just spray it on and easily wipe off  plant sap and dirt from your pruners, shears, loppers or saws.
Yes, the same sap that you have had a hard time removing from your pruners that will harden and keep your pruners from working well.

Prune Master is E.P.A. Certified and controls the spread of plant diseases like Perennial Canker, Fire Blight, Oak Wilt, Mosaic Virus, Bacterial Spot, Laurel Wilt, Scallybutt, (Citrus exocortus) Fusarium Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease.

Digging rocks out of the garden with an unbreakable boradfork

Here in the Blue Ridge Mountains it's not uncommon to find rocks while digging in our heavy clay garden soil. (Did you ever wonder why there are always more rocks in the garden every year?)

We're sure glad to have an unbreakable broadfork.

You can get one too, at www.WayCoolTools.com

Using a broadfork will loosen the soil deeper than a roto-tiller and not leave hard-pan.

At 60" tall this garden digging tool keeps you in an upright position and gives you the leverage for the 10" tines loosen the soil.

There are three sizes to choose from: 5, 6 or 7 tines that will cultivate up to a 30" wide garden bed in one pass.

Buy a broadfork today.

Your back will thank you!

Dig your 2014 garden without a rototiller!

So you've made your best garden plant seed picks and actually placed your order on time this year.
You will need to contact the rental shop to get on their list of rotor-tiller renters and hope that the weather cooperates and that there are no problems with their tillers that will necessitate a repair on your tilling day.

Of all the things you will need to do to get ready for a successful gardening season, preparing the soil for planting is an unavoidable must do task.

If you are like most people, using a rotor-tiller is as pleasurable as hiking on a superhighway.

An alternative to the noise, smell and mechanical stress of rotor-tilling is using a broad fork.
- Otherwise known as a broadfork (written as one word) a U-bar or a grelinette. 
Not all broad forks are created equal and each has their own place in the world of gardening tools.

One broadfork you will want to check out when learning about broad fork gardening is the WayCoolTools broad fork. It is surprisingly light despite being made entirely of tempered aircraft quality alloy steel, yet strong enough to remove large stones and penetrate heavy, compacted soil. It has the added benefit of enabling you to more finely cultivate your garden soil for planting by chopping and tilthing the soil.

To use a broad fork rock the two handles back and forth while applying pressure with one or both feet on the cross bar above the digging blades.
As you penetrate the soil, pull back on the handles to loosen the soil.
If needed you can use the broad fork with an up and down chopping motion to break up larger clods of soil.

The amount of time to produce finished planting beds is around a minute per foot in heavily compacted soil. With that in mind you could dig a 30 foot long planting bed in about a half hour.
If you were to work an hour a day with our 5 tine broad fork, in the course of a work week you will have made ready over 200 square feet of gardening space.

Did you know that you can actually dig deeper than a rototiller with a broadfork without creating the hard pan that rotor-tillers cause?
