Traditional tilling disrupts the natural structure of soil, leading to decreased microbial activity and nutrient loss. Broad forking, a method utilizing a tool with metal tines attached to a horizontal bar, allows for soil aeration without disturbing the ecosystem below the Earth's surface. This method preserves soil layers, promotes water penetration, and encourages deep rooting, resulting in healthier crops. *********************************** Learn more about the no-till bed prep- https://www.bootstrapfarmer.com/blogs/how-to-guides/using-silage-tarp-for-organic-weed-control-and-bed-prepping Watch our video on silage tarp methods- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWCEG4AtIwc Shop Broadforks- https://www.bootstrapfarmer.com/collections/new-products/products/broadforkusamade ************************************ Timestamps: 00:00 | Intro 00:45 | Benefits of Broad Forking 01:26 | Operating the Broadfork ************************************ Thanks for watching Bootstrap Farmer! ► Subscribe and hit the bell to see new videos: [null](null) ► Check out our Free Resources: [https://www.bootstrapfarmer.com/pages/resources](https://www.bootstrapfarmer.com/pages/resources) FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL HERE FACEBOOK: [https://www.facebook.com/BootstrapFarmer/](https://www.facebook.com/BootstrapFarmer/) INSTAGRAM: [https://www.instagram.com/bootstrapfarmer/](https://www.instagram.com/bootstrapfarmer/) TIKTOK: [https://www.tiktok.com/@bootstrapfarmer](https://www.tiktok.com/@bootstrapfarmer) #bootstrapfarmer #BroadForking #SoilHealth #NoTillFarming #Agriculture
