Are you looking at the Mantis tiller cultivator and wondering whether it is the right garden equipment for you to buy? This is not a cheap tiller so understandably it is right to consider whether it is both right for your garden and that the quality matches the price.
Why Buy a Garden Tiller? The traditional way to prepare soil, whether that is for a new garden or perhaps preparing soil for vegetable garden planting, is the back breaking method of using a garden spade and garden fork followed by raking if and when the rough dug soil has broken down.
This is still a very good method of soil preparation, getting your garden soil ready for planting or landscaping but anyone who has clay soil, a larger than average garden plot or not the strongest back will tell you that there has to be a better way.
A garden tiller takes much of that hard work out of the equation.
There is still effort involved in controlling a rotary tiller so do not buy Mantis or any other make of tiller thinking it will make soil preparation a stroll around the garden! Apart from less strain on the gardener's body the biggest benefit gained from using tillers and cultivators is time.
You can be talking about hours rather than days to complete your soil preparation and, it seems in the modern day, time is always at a premium.
What to Look For When Choosing a Mini Tiller It goes without saying that you are buying your mini tiller to make your gardening jobs easier.
This in itself suggests that it must be lightweight to make it easy to maneuver but at the same time be powerful enough to cut into and break down a clay soil.
The tines must be strong and guaranteed not to break in the heaviest soil conditions.
Also look at the depth that the tines dig down, it is no use having something that just disturbs the top of the soil.
Preferably the cultivator should be leaving your garden soil with a good enough tilthe for seed sowing and planting apart from perhaps raking level.
