In many areas, the native soil is not great for growing a garden. If you are looking to put in a flowerbed or plant other types of plants then you will need good soil. Even if the area you are looking to use has previously been used for growing you may need to till the land anyway if it has not been used in some time – a garden tiller will destroy most weeds and aerate the soil. Small gardens can usually be tilled by hand but if your garden is moderately large you may want to consider a dedicated machine.
A garden tiller uses rotating blades called tines to cut into the soil. These tines may be mounted on the front or rear of the tiller – each version has its own advantages:
•Front Tine: The tines are located in front of the wheels; since the wheels are in back this machine is easy to push along. However the tines will tend to pull the machine forward and on particularly hard ground this will cause the machine to skip over the top of the soil instead of digging into it.
•Rear Tine: The tines are located behind the wheels – making the tiller easier to maneuver and giving more power. If you’ve never broken the ground in your garden before a rear tine garden tiller may be ideal.
If your garden is small and your soil has been previously cultivated then you will most likely only require a small model. These are often referred to as mini-cultivators. You may want to consider renting a large tiller when starting your garden and then purchasing a smaller one for maintaining it.
