At first, I wanted to get one of those 9 tines broadfork, but I am not
sure anymore. I bought a 5 tines from Lee Valley (in Canada), it's
cheaper and it worked well for me last season. The tines on it are big
as a finger, and it's an all metal construction (including the handles).
My only complain about it is that it is mighty heavy. But I guess the
more delicate tines on the Johnny's one would probably not survived the
abuse of having to lift my heavy clay soil, so I bear the burden. :)
The Valley Oak one look sturdier because of the fins welded to tines for
reinforcement. Never seen one in action, though.
Just sayin'.
