Tillers in the Home Garden
Tillers are probably the most popular power tool among home gardeners. The function of the tiller is to break up and loosen hard soil and mix it up, as well as properly mixing other organic matter and manure into the soil in preparation for planting.
It is also commonly used to chop up plant debris and sod and mix it into the soil to convert a plot of land into a garden. A pick-axe and a shovel could get the same job done, but it could be back breaking work, especially if you have a large garden plot. The selection of a tiller should be done carefully to match your soil conditions, your abilities and strength, and the size of your garden. The ability of the tiller to perform these jobs is a function of the tiller's engine size, the tiller's weight and strength, the tiller design and types of tines. Material quality and difficulty of repairs must also be considered as long term factors. Purchasing a tiller is a large investment, especially for a tool many only use on an annual basis. Most people will find it more economical to rent a tiller, or to hire someone to perform the work for them. There are three main varieties of tillers: Front tine, Rear tine, and mini-cultivators. The tines are the metal blades that perform the digging. Both front and rear tine tillers have depth stakes to adjust the level of soil you want to work. |
