Have you noticed as you plant a small flower bed or a five acre field, it is always the weeds that always grow faster than whatever seeds you have you have planted. To keep the weed battle from being victorious, you absolutely must keep turning the soil over. Doing this will serve a two fold purpose: 1. keep killing the weeds and 2. aerate the ground. Garden cultivators help in this process.
There are probably many readers who have spent time on their hands and knees pulling weeds by hands. Some people can even remember using a garden cultivator that was powered by human strength, pushing downward and forward. If one visits Amish country, garden cultivation is being done by horses pulling the cultivator. Farms throughout the country have cultivators that affix to their tractors to go through their fields and large gardens to eliminate the problem of weeds. But what about the weekend gardener who has no need for large equipment and does not want to break their backs. What then for them.
If a person just has a flower garden or a very small vegetable garden, all a person would need is something like a Garden Weasel. These are usually seen advertised on television. They are three rotating prongs on a long handle. The middle prong can be removed so you can get close to the plants, and the long handle can be removed for use in flower boxes. Ace Hardware lists these items for sale at around .
To make life a little easier in your larger garden, you are ready to consider either Electric or Gas Powered Tillers. Troy Bilt is a rather popular brand that has a good track record as well. They have an electric tiller that starts at a price of around 9. These start very easily by just turning on a button. A gas powered tiller/cultivator. They must be started by a pull rope, but usually one gentle pull will do the trick. Finally, the most highly recommended garden cultivator would be the Mantil Tiller/Cultivator. It has a 16" tilling width, and it weighs only thirty pounds. The best part is that it comes with a one year money back guarantee, so you can use it for a whole year, and if you do not like it, you can return it. It sells for 9.
