Project #4 Broadfork
This is an antique farming tool that I decided to recreate from some plans I found in an old gardening book and on the web. Before the days of Petroleum powered farm equipment those without horse power used man power to work as much as two acres with this tool. (I would not want to be that man!) I figure it should make quick work of my 1000 square foot garden. This tool loosens and aerates the soil without destroying soil structure(like a tiller) and inverting the strata (making your top soil bottom soil) like a shovel would. I had some help from the kids.
