CobraHead Broadfork

Works great. Great company with great products

I tested the CobraHead Broadfork here on our Indiana homestead, where the soil is heavy clay and the drought has made it even tougher than usual. I’ll admit - it wasn’t effortless at first, but the more I worked with it, the easier it became to use. I could actually see and feel the soil loosening and breathing again.
What impressed me most was how the Broadfork opens the soil gently, without disturbing the layers underneath. It’s sturdy, well-balanced, and clearly built to last - yet light enough that I could comfortably use it myself. For gardeners who want healthier soil and better drainage without relying on a tiller, this tool is a true game changer.
Disclosure: CobraHead provided me with a Broadfork to test. This review includes my honest opinions.

I have seen this tool in gardening magazines for years, and it looked like something that would work great in my raised bed vegetable gardens, but the price felt a bit steep. This year, I took the plunge and am very happy that I did. My beds were much easier to work up and not turning the soil with a spade made it possible to plant despite the very wet spring. I find myself using it in flower beds that have been overtaken with grasses too. I can avoid harming perennials and the grass roots pull out easily. Even the rocky, clay soil that lies under the gardens is less of a challenge now.

I’ve been using the tool for several weeks now. It’s a very versatile tool. Depending on your specific application, there is simple and pleasant learning curve. The more you use the broadfork, the more uses you’ll find for it and the more efficient you’ll complete your tasks.

This broad fork is awesome! I love that it can work a wider area than my regular garden fork. It's just what I need to remove a large swath of grass so I can rewild that area with natives!
