A broadfork opens and loosens soil without turning it - ..so air, water, and roots can move deeper.
EARLY RELEASE ! FIELD-TESTED & READY TO ROCK.
..More-Fork Field notes:
what you might notice with this design..
A few passes in, you realise you haven’t stopped, can still talk — and think.
The tines don't all engage at the same depth. That's like half the amount of initial pressure needed!
That means the soil releases, fractures, in stages when lifting, instead of locking up all at once.
It reduces that "stuck halfway" feeling, especially in heavier ground.
Those short points on the tines shear soil away from flat surfaces, less soil will stick.
No resetting your stance. No dragging it back out to walk around it. No clearing clay every second go.No clearing clay every second go.

this one requires a VIDEO of the position change..
The ground opens more easily with each pull. It gives in stages, and keeps you moving.
.... and on the second pass, you'll find you're on the way to 'Gardening Australia' soil!
Each pass leaves a clean line of soil, ready to plant. No doubling back or guessing what you missed..
IFKYK: but.. When water and air get access to lower layers of soil, it gives soil-biology a real chance to flourish... BIG TIME! - It's how you grow topsoil with every new crop. Because a Broadfork doesn't 'invert' the soil on its head like a rotary tiller, the beautiful composted surface layers dont get diluted by lower, poorer soil. That's a huge win. - Fertilise > Broadfork > Rake > Seed/Plant. ... Could it be simpler?
You settle into a pace and it holds. The tool disappears from your thinking. You focus on the flow now.
Finally, a Broadfork design that lets your body move naturally around it, and not be constrained to it. When a tool repects your effort, rhythm follows. ..and now you get your creativity back. no stress!
- yes, it's a heavy tool. But it's also designed to stay outdoors for years, and still be picked up where you left off...
By the end of the bed, the difference is visible.

The soil is opened deeper than it usually gets. Air and water have somewhere to go. Roots and worms will follow.

In a couple of plantings, the soil starts to behave differently.

It doesn’t look dramatic. ..Feeding your family properly rarely does.
…but the meals you'll share!
The feasts that stay with people..
Yes, there's the practical side. Income, mortgage, the gap we're all trying to close.
And feeding a family can feel invisible.
But there's a quieter pull here too.
..A sense of what a quality life actually feels like to live...
If you feel that… you know why you're here.
The question remains: What might just happen when we take primary value back into our own hands? and pass it on to our children?
A Tough-Soil Specialist Tool
A Bit of Madness + A Lot of Method.
A Hat-Tip to the OG Gundaroo Tiller. A broadfork tine design that's been worked, adjusted, and proven over decades. We didn't reinvent it. We refined it with steel that dominates in the ground Small changes… that stop the tool binding when conditions are sticky and tough.
Whether you’re running deep mulch, no-dig, biointensive, or something in between… there’s a place for a broadfork. A few simple patterns help you get the most out of it without changing everything at once.
