  • The Broadfork

    The Broadfork

    The BroadFork Many gardeners and growers, especially those working on heavy soils, face the difficulty of deeply compacted soil and want to loosen and aerate it without bringing lower layers to the surface. On a field scale there are tractor-based solutions, but how to tackle the task in the smaller plot? The BroadFork is designed to be at least part of the solution! (The Glaser Bio cultivator (414) has the same objective.) Here are some of Eliot Coleman’s comments from his book The New Organic Grower:– “This two-handled deep tillage tool is known by different names, but broadfork comes as close to describing it as any other. Like most agricultural tools its genesis surely dates far back in agricultural history. It consists of a 2-foot wide spading fork with a 5-foot-long handle at either side of the fork. The teeth on the fork are spaced 4 inches apart and are about 12 inches long . The tines are designed with a parabolic shape and curve down from an attachment point at the back of the crossbar. This difference is the key. The parabolic curve . works with an easy, rolling motion. As the handles are pulled down, the tines curve under and lift the soil easily. “The broadfork is held with the handles tilted slightly forward of vertical. It is pressed into the soil as far as possible by stepping on the crossbar, then the two handles are pulled back towards the operator in an easy rocking motion. The broadfork is then lifted from the loosened soil, the operator steps backwards 6 inches, and the manoeuvre is repeated..

Different horticultural operations like soil and seed bed preparation digging, fertilization and irrigation, manure spreading, pruning and training, spraying and harvesting, accounts more than half of production cost. In many countries farmers mostly faces these problems which are likely to take more time and also increases the total production cost. So in order to minimize production cost and to saves time we have to take a step towards mechanization. Current mechanized horticulture includes use of trucks, tractors, harvesters. Modern orchards even sometimes use computers in conjuction with satellite imagery and GPS guidelines to increase yield. In fruit cultivation several machinery are available to increase production, mould board plough, disc plough and rotavator are being used in ploughing and seed bed preparation. Operations such as harvesting, spraying, weeding and irrigation use of trunk shaker, air blast sprayer, bush cutter, drip irrigation, respectively can be used to overcome production cost and to saves time compare to conventional method. Need of Mechanization The followings are the points which arises the need of mechanization in fruit culture: . To increase land labour productivity .

  • Edge Trimmer Or Brush Cutter

    Edge Trimmer Or Brush Cutter

    Trimmer or brushcutter? Trimmers and brushcutters are in appearance identical products, whether on the look or the usage. Only identical in appearances, though… The trimmer is above all else, intended for finishing jobs. It can be used against walls, around trees or borders, under benches… that is to say everywhere the lawn mower cannot access. The trimmer is therefore an additional tool, used after lawn cutting. It must solely be used to cut off the grass that goes over, as the diameter of the cutting wire is relatively limited. This tool is therefore, aimed at homeowners, which have a medium- sized, well looked after garden. The brushcutter is generally more expensive, as more robust. It can tackle higher grass, brambles, and even small branches. It can be used to maintain larger areas or areas difficult to access with a lawn mower. Its engine is more powerful and the wire cutting is thicker (up to 4 mm in diameter). It is also heavier than a trimmer. The brushcutter presents certain advantages to garden owners or professionals that wish to cut off larger vegetal or look after and maintain larger grounds. Once you have defined which tool answers the best your needs, it is time to think about the accessories and optional specifications that could be useful to you. - Engine power: to define in function of your needs - guard protection : Protect the surrounding plants from the cutting wire when working near by - replacement of the cutting wire : the wire being fragile, it regularly breaks. Some machines allow the replacement of the cutting
