I've been doing this at my place recently, but the whole time I worried I will be bitten by a spider or a snake.

In situations such as this (weed removal from a previously-cultivated bed) could flame torch weeding be considered as an option? My concern is that the forceful, physical removal of the invading plants will cause seed to be dropped, resulting in future weed germination.
Thank you for this enjoyable and informative presentation. I'm now off in search of a broadfork. I've never before seen this tool offered in any local hardware store - - I'll probably have to find and purchase one on line. -
That five tiner is awesome. Wish they were widely available. Love my broadfork, good job on showing how to work it in soil that still has weeds in in, most vids are showing already worked soil which is fine but not the norm whenever I go to my garden bed, there's always some kind of weed to be found.

There's so much on the subject :) Thanks

A broadfork is probably not the best tool to clean out unbroken ground. The very first cleaning of hard soil is usually best done with a standard garden fork. A broadfork works best in previously cultivated soil and the tines or handles could be broken if the tool is used as a pry bar in dense and overgrown soil. Both CobraHead tools are technically hoes. Single-tined cultivating hoes to be precise.

This is all new to me. My soil is bad, so should I just a use a regular fork? Also is the cobra head the same as a hoe? I'm really new to this. Thanks a lot.
