Typical Applications

: Breaking up soil
A few preparations are necessary before
you begin to break up soil which has
been previously tilled (e.g. last year's
vegetable or flower garden). First clear
away surface weeds and remains of
other plants as well as hard objects like
rocks, stones, bottles, pieces of wood
etc.
Hold the cultivator firmly with both hands
and till only a small area at a time to the
required depth.
Finish tilling the area by guiding the
cultivator in such a way that you leave
no footprints. Use a rake to level off the
entire area.

: Loosening soil around plants
Only loosen the surface soil around
plants. Avoid going too deep as this
could damage the shallow roots of some
plants.
To avoid any damage to the cultivator or
trees, be wary not to catch the blades on
the large roots of trees.
