Garden Weasel Rotary Cultivator & Hand Tiller - 2-in-1 | Aerate, Weed, Cultivate, Plant, Reseed | Lawn Reseeding Garden Tool, Garden Soil Loosener | 91206

very well made, works very well, the neighbors are jealous of my lawn where i used this tool to repair patches.for seed to take root you need to fluff up the soil, apply the seed and then rake some of the soil over the seed so it's not directly exposed.my HOA didn't properly fluff the soil before applying seed and their seed didn't quite take root but mine did, thanks to this tool ( of course i also watered and fertilized better than them etc. )worth every penny.

I wanted one of these for years and never got one. I finally got one this year for weeding in closely around my plants so I didn’t have to bend over. It has a long handle on it. That is very durable and strong so it’s easy to grip and apply pressure While Weeding. Makes weeding really easy.

It was not the one I thought I was ordering but it works very well.

After many years of using a metal rake to scratch the ground surface, I decided to purchase the Garden Weasel. From the first few strokes I was greatly impressed. It ate through the hardened soil where my dogs urinate and the ground became hard and devoid of grass. It performed beautifully under some trees where grass is hard to grow and some roots popped up. It softly buried grass seed as easily as 1-2-3. The handle is long enough (could be slightly longer but it’s fine). The tongs seem to be well made, (they are easily adjustable as you can use 1 - 2 or all 3 blades at any time to fit whatever area you’re working in). Has a slight angle pitch to save your back while rowing this back and forth.This is a drastic improvement to using a rake and cost effective to not buy a rotor tiller (unless you have a huge area to till). It still requires some effort, but the results are amazing as your packed down soil becomes loosened and gets you ready to plant seeds or whatever you want. Highly recommend

I first used this on a lawn that has empty patches, where I’d like to re-seed. I liked being able to remove or add the tiller sections to just the right width to loosen soil and weeds between the healthy grass. So far so good. However on my second use, weeding and loosening soil in a rose bed, the tines clogged quickly and then the plastic head snapped. It did not feel like I was putting much pressure on it. I will be returning this and looking for something more durable.

Usually I'm stingy and will not buy items at this price. But this sounded like an item I could use in my old, not-too-successful garden. But this item came--in a long box which meant it was already assembled or I would have returned it. It came out of the box with clanking bells and whistles in right royalty. It worked to loosen dirt. I am going to see if I will use it sufficiently to justify it--usually I am a hands-on person, use my hands with medical gloves. But so far, it's in grand shape--spanky shiny new, teeth in good shape, all there, nice and long so I don't have to bend.Verdict is out--I returned it now after three days. It was too hard for me to rake up the soil unless it was soft and I didn't want to go too deep--the teeth are only 3-4" but they don't go 4" deep with my limited strength. I resorted back to bending on my knees and raking the dirt with a small shovel and rake. (Of course, at 80, there are some hard areas I cannot dig).

This tool worked BETTER than I ever expected! In fact, when I wanted to plant some grass seed this fall, I began by using a pitch fork to break up my clay soil. My plan was to then break up the pieces with the Garden Weasel. Well, I quickly got bored with the pitch fork and just used the Garden Weasel..... and it worked just as well or better. I'm a 62 year old woman and this tool was super easy for me to make work. Really no more difficult than mopping a floor. ...... and my new grass looks beautiful :)

Over the winter (this last winter was real rough), I lot of my grass died and didn't come back. My yard had many bare, dirt patches and was starting to get overrun by dandelions. I used this tool to soften up the very solid soil to prepare to lay seed.Pros: Effective for loosening up soilCons: Hard, manual labor to loosen up the soilI am a pretty small human (5'7" 115lb) so it was tough for me to work this through the hardened soil. Ultimately, it was effective and my little seedlings are growing but it is not easy.

With the prevalence of plastic, and aluminum, this thing should cost $35-$40 CAD, and not a penny more.The head is made out of hollow plastic, the knobs are plastic, and the bushings inside the metal spikes are also plastic, and the aluminum handle is pressed very thin. How to build something as cheaply as possible, and over charge people for a bare minimum quality product.I feel I could easily brake this thing if I'm not careful. Make sure the soil is very soft, and already tilled if you plan on using it.

Strong like. Great tool, little pricey but works great! Will and have strongly recommended

j avais acheté cet outils pour émietter de la terre durcie,les morceaux de terre se bloquent entre les dents, outils le plus inutile que j ai acheté depuis 40 ans de jardinage

Easy to use. Tines are easily removed for getting in and around various size plants in my garden.

Tried imitation ones from the big hardware stores—they had adjustable handles which was nice but in ALL cases the lock would not hold more than a few strokes, which was awful. With a solid handle and no adjustment the Weasel is always reliable. My only complaint and therefore giving 4 instead of 5 starts, is it would be nice to have the handle another 6" or so longer.
