No heavy lifting required. The long tines are able to loosen soil deep below the surface to promote root growth, aeration, deep watering and more. An important benefit is that the soil structure is preserved and less energy (and effort) is required to cultivate. They are valuable tools for no-till or low-till farming and gardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn many cases a broadfork can achieve better results than a rototiller with less time and effort. To use the broadfork, you stand on the cross bar and wiggle the handles back and forth to work the tines deep into the ground; then, using larger strokes back and forth you pry the tines back to \"comb\" the soil upward. Remove the tool and repeat the process a few inches backward in the bed. Using this technique a modest-sized  bed can be tilled in a few minutes without breaking a sweat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese tools are made by SHW in \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFriedrichstal\u003c\/span\u003e near the Black Forest region of Germany and are designed to last a lifetime.
