Johnny's Selected Seeds offers a broadfork or U-Bar digger designed by
Eliot Coleman. I hear it's a good one. The one offered by PV Farm
Supply looks like an especially heavy and well designed and made
4-tine digger with a single central handle (a steel pipe). The
Coleman-designed model has two handles, of wood, inserted in sockets
at the ends of the Ubar. Have a look at the one developed by John
Jeavons at Bountiful Gardens/Eco-Action also.
