Springtime and the warmer weather will be here soon. The warm weather will finally bring us outside to start cleaning up the yard. It's a time to get the deck or patio in shape, clean up the lawn furniture and get ready
for a beautiful summer.
Once the yard is cleaned
up, you’ll want to get the flower beds and garden ready to plant.
This usually
requires a lot of digging, bending, and raking. I can’t think of a better tool
than the Mantis Tiller/Cultivator to help you with all of this work. Well, you’re still going to have to do some work, but this tool makes it so much
easier.
I’ve had my Mantis Tiller for more than 10 years now, and it still runs like it’s
brand new. I’ve used it year after year to till my garden, flower beds, and around
shrubs.
We planted a brand new garden for my daughter, and it easily tilled through the untouched sod. The handles just fold down and the Mantis
fits in the trunk of my car or stores easily in my garage.
Mantis Tiller Features:
Easy fast start technology.
Comes with a handy carrying handle.
Weighs only 21 pounds so it's easy to move around.
A 9-inch wide pattern for digging and weeding.
Tines dig down 10-inches for cultivating.
Reverse the tines for weeding and only dig down 2-3-inches
What I like the best is
that the tines pull off of the shaft with a simple pull of a cotter pin, and
can be reversed for two different jobs. One position is for cultivating and will
dig about 10 inches deep for planting your flowers or plants in your vegetable
garden. The other position will only dig 3 to 4 inches deep, this is really
handy for easy weeding around plants and shrubs.
My Tiller also has the
border edger attachment with a wheel; this makes short work of edging around
walkways and the driveway for that nice clean look.
A few years ago my outside drains were clogged with mud, and not draining,
causing the rainwater to just settle around the foundation of my house. I decided to abandon the old drain on the side of the house that was clogged and replace it with a new PVC pipe to the street. This required me to dig a trench from the edge of
the house to the street a total of about 30 feet.
So, short of digging this
trench with a shovel and pick, I used my Mantis Tiller to do the digging for me. I set the tines in cultivate position and shoveled the dirt out as I went along,
this made the job so much easier.
You can also buy these attachments for the Mantis Tiller for complete lawn care:
Aerator - Will cut tiny slits in your lawn to allow nutrients and water to reach roots.
Border Edger - Make nice clean edges around sidewalks and driveways.
Dethatcher - Will remove dead grass early in the spring to promote growth.
If you have a garden, and
flower beds and like to keep a neat lawn, I highly recommend The Mantis Tiller
Cultivator.
