Haven't seen any garages for sale around here. I could use a functioning one tho cuz the door on mine will not open.

I do see a lot of folks with signs up saying they are selling their yard. No thanks I got more yard than I can deal with now. Why da heck do folks wanna sell their garages and yards anyway? Never have figured that one out.

A broadfork is kind of like the potato fork, only it has two handles with a wide square bottom. thet have more and longer tines. To use you stomp it in, you can get on the bar with both feet and put some weight on it. Then you just tip the handles down. It loosens the ground, not dig it.
 
I made a couple this spring and I am thinking this will be the solution to my short carrot problem. Rototillers make a hardpan 5 or 6" deep. I could feel it as I broadforked a chunk of my rototilled garden. The fork loosened the dirt a good deal deeper.
 
Outrageous that they are charging a couple hundred bucks for them though, they are easy to make.

By yard sale- I think they are selling items 3 ft. at a time.
