Not negative if offering advice and your experience Richard.. :)

Thanks for your input. I was/am planning to broadfork only because it was how I did it years and years ago when in Queensland, Australia (1994/95). It was the way I was taught no-dig veg production back then. I used a simple garden fork and my hands and back paid for it for a week. The ground was properly baked after a long dryish summer. I am almost 20 years older now, so the concept of a broad fork spreading the load just made sense. The pain barrier was met back then forever… so I am a coward for all un-needed pain now! I avoid it like the plague… Oh, and Belgium drivers.

I don’t think you sharing your experience is negative at all. It’s great!

We’ve just come back from being on Loch Lomond. We went to a small local farmers market and I listened to their stories with real joy. Thanks for taking your time to comment.

I have to say Belgium is one place I hate driving in. I’ve done it twice and both times it was pouring with rain and they drove like maniacs… lol.
