Bed preparation with a Broad Fork vs. a Digging Fork
I wanted to share a few of the techniques that we use to prepare a bed for planting garden veggies into using a variety of low tech tools such as landscape fabric (for no-till occultation), a broad fork, digging fork and bow rake.
If ya needs seeds, we have almost 700 open pollinated, open-source organic varieties at:

Good one. Thanks!
I love my digging fork! It's a favorite garden tool I use for tilling and for weed removal. Place, Stand on it , lever it back, and Pop! Also I have found that Covering areas with weed cloth or even cardboard can also cause rhizome grass root systems to grow closer to the surface for easier removal...that stuff is tenacious!
Thank you Don
Great video Don - very informative- thank you!
You say what you are doing is not inverting. You are by pulling up broadfork completely. You should actually open crevices only, not take broadfork action all way to point of mass soil to be uplifted, that acts in same manner of disruption as rototiller. Half way on lift would be better. Also, layer with compost after and allow to settle into crevices.
Is that Grayback in the background of the opening scene?
comfrey is a great fertilizer and you just tossed it out of your garden.
