Essential for Your Beds: A Garden Cultivator


A garden cultivator is an absolute must-have if you're planning to grow a garden this spring. Even for small beds, it is essential to turn up the soil and root out any weeds. Without a cultivator, this can be time consuming and extremely difficult.


Unlike the noisy, sputtering, smoky roto tiller your dad used to use to turn up his garden, these days a garden cultivator runs quietly on regular gas and feature powerful 4-stroke engines for easy starts and fast tine speeds. Their sturdy modern construction and reliable engines are somewhat expensive initially, but most manufacturers offer limited or lifetime warranties.


When buying your garden cultivator, it is important to keep the size of the job in mind. If you have only a small garden or some beds that need tilling, you’ll be able to save money by buying only what you need. Smaller, lightweight cultivators are reasonably priced and will still handle heavy loams, weed beds and even clays.


Make sure to shop around at both local hardware stores and online retailers to get the garden cultivator right for you and big enough for the job. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions when using the cultivator, and take care to follow any recommended safety precautions.
