==U-bar== A u-bar is similar to a broadfork but has longer tines - up to {{convert|18|in|cm}} - for deeper cultivation, since it is meant to be used in beds that have already been [[double digging|double dug]] at least once.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.leevalley.com/us/garden/page.aspx?p=10521&cat=2,42578,40769 | title=Garden & Lawn Tools - Lee Valley Tools }}</ref> A u-bar also has "elbows" that allow the tines to be raised above soil level when the handles are tilted all the way back. Thus, clumps of soil that get caught on the tines can be broken up by shaking the handles up and down, rocking the tool on its elbows. Whereas double digging a one hundred square foot (9.3 square meter) bed can take several hours, tilling the same bed with a u-bar can often be done in a half hour or so.
