Valley Oak Tools broadforks, wheel hoes, and garden tools



Anyone ever use a broadfork? My soil is glacial sand based ,very few stones. Just wondering if it worth getting one .

Its called Fishing for a Reason

The Beaverkill

First time I fished this great river was in 1967,on my way home from college in the middle of some fly hatch .I had no idea what was going on as I cast my worms . Couldn't see out the windows there were so many flies smashed on the windshield.

Penn reel part 2 and you tube

This is what precipitated this whole thought.  It jammed on Friday on a fishing trip. Maybe has 10 trips on it.Went to the tube typed in 320 gti .It took about and hour and a few attempts at figuring out the mess I had.
 I had  removed the wrong screws trying to get the  side off. When the cover came off the whole thing landed in a pile of gears and drag washers. I cleaned ,oiled ,greased all and realize how simple it all was to re assemble.All Penns are basically the same.  The video that showed me all was one about a Penn Senator.

Penn 704Z..



I have 6. The oldest I bought in 1974,"Greenie". The newest I got on eBay for about $60 barely used 3 weeks ago .You can find these for about 1/10th the cost of one of those billet reels. I fish about 4 days a week when the fish are running in the fall. They have never failed me.

Instant Karma

I live in two places .It has bothered me that I couldn't get fresh greens for salads in the winter place so I planted these a few weeks ago.  I have since added three more of those 20 gallon bags.  When I head north in the spring I'll dump the dirt in the beds and around citrus trees, fold every thing up  for next yr. Cabbage,broccoli, three kinds of lettuce and 4 tomato plants all grown in composted cow manure from the local big box.I put the tomatos right inthe Black kow bags  Lots of dainage hole on he bottom
