I'd like to know about that too. I don't have a broadfork, or at 
least not the Eliot Coleman variety (though I would have if they 
didn't cost so much), but I do have a smaller version that works very 
well. It's useless for breaking up the compacted clay cement we have 
for soil here, but once a bed is established, it works well to loosen 
the soil for the next season's planting, or for weeding.
