Broadforks are excellent for breaking open compacted soils deeper than with a rototiller or a spade. This tool will deeply aerate your soil, increase water percolation, and preserve soil structure. In comparison, a rototiller pulverizes soil into a fine dust that compacts and hardens after the first rains. The 12” tines are 2” longer than the main competitor’s broadforks. It is best to broadcast compost and soil amendments prior to broadforking; as the amendments will trickle down into the cracks. This is especially useful for rock phosphate, since phosphorus moves through the soil very slowly. BUILT TO LAST: 1. The ½” tines are reinforced with ¼” welded steel gussets. These strengthened tines are much more resistant to bending than most broadfork tines. 2. The tines are turned to a point instead of cut at an angle. This reduces resistance. 3. The handles are ash handles, 1½” in diameter. Replacement handles are widely available. 4. Stout wooden handles, stiffer tines, and a wider treadbar make for a tool that is durable, reliable, and easier on your body. Broadfork actual weight is 21 lb.

H | Meadow Creature Broadfork H Meadow Creature’s Broadforks are easy to use and built for a lifetime. Ideal for deep-aerating your beds, these broadforks easily turn soil in existing beds.

The broadfork looks similar to a , but it’s stronger and heavier, with longer tines. Our tines have a gentle curve to ease ground penetration. To use, you stand on the cross bar, wriggling the handles and using your body weight to work the tines into the ground. Stepping off the broadfork, you can pull on the handles just a bit to loosen and aerate the soil around the tines, or leverage the handles further back for a more complete breaking of the soil. After each “pull”, work backwards and side to side, to turn your bed, without stepping on the loosened soil. Broadfork actual weight is 24 lb.

Zenport Grafting Tool Omega Style Quickly and easily create professional quality grafts. The clean cuts made by the grafting tool allow you to get a perfect fit, every time. The 2 in 1 tool contains both a pruner and grafting guillotine. This allows you to first prepare the plants to be grafted, by trimming away excess leaves and twigs. Then using the special grafting guillotine you can make a perfect omega cut into the grafting stock. The tool allows you to quickly create omega style grafts. The grafting blade is able to cut through stock up to 1.4 cm in diameter. Because the same blade is used on the root stock and scion, they will easily slot together and form a tight bond. The clean cut and snug fit increases the likelihood of the graft ‘taking’. For professionals this means less money lost to waste on grafts that don’t take. For the amateur it means the confidence to experiment with grafting, without the worry of mastering complex grafting techniques. Replaceable grafting blade.

Sprayers have a wide variety of purposes in the organic garden and orchard throughout the year. Remember to run water through your sprayer after use to clean the fine mist nozzles and prevent clogging. Winter When fruit trees are dormant, it is common practice to spray trees with an organic dormant oil to smother pests and a fungicide to prevent disease next year. Spring When seedlings sprout, a fine mist spray is the perfect way to water them delicately and apply organic Liquid Kelp & Liquid Fish. Summer Regular applications of compost tea, Liquid Kelp, or Liquid Fish can help meet the plant’s immediate nutritional needs and increase vigor. Remember, it is best to apply foliar feedings in the early evening so that the plant leaves do not get scorched by the hot summer sun. Fall In case of insect infestation, defend your crop with an organic insecticide. Generally these products are applied using a sprayer and most products kill the pest on contact, so coat the leaves well if called for (after reading the product’s label carefully). .com Dusters Organic Gardening Resource Center Extensive library of organic gardening knowledge.

Organic Weed Control Organic weed control is more than getting on your hands and knees to pull weeds. We’ve got a whole slew of techniques to get rid of the weeds in your garden. Any and all of these alternatives to harmful chemicals are worth a try. Remember that integrated pest management for any pest, including weeds, often requires more than one method for adequate control.

Pre-Emergent is an herbicide that inhibits seeds from germinating, like our Corn Gluten Meal. Soil Solarization is done with clear plastic; that lets the sun’s rays in and cooks the weed seeds. Transparent polyethylene plastic placed on moist soil during the hot sum- mer months for approx. 6 weeks increases soil temperatures to levels lethal to many soilborne plant pathogens, weed seeds, and seedlings (including parasitic seed plants), nematodes, and some soil residing mites.

48 alternative herbicides & coldframes More info and products: GrowOrganic.com Weed Flamers Once a popular technique, “weed flaming” is being revived, with excellent results, for nontoxic weed control in home gardens as well as commercial row crops, orchards, and vineyards. Organic growers are excited about flaming because in many cases it works as well as herbicides, is amazingly cost and labor effective, can be done when fields are too wet to cultivate and does not bring dormant weed seeds to the surface. Flaming correctly, it uses the searing heat of a specially designed propane burner to quickly “boil” the water in the cells of the plant. This causes the cell walls to burst. This is usually accomplished in under 2 seconds, without injury to your crop. Weeds are flamed 1–2 days before crop emergence. Flaming is highly effective on young, annual weeds. Perennial weeds with taproots or woody stems may require reflaming. Use extreme caution to prevent injury or fire hazard. Not for use during hot, dry, summer months due to increased fire danger.
