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.

Your back will thank you!
