Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric Garden Cultivator #GC818 Reviews
All the rest was done with this. I have used it to turn small patches of new ground for small plants. When we had enough rain to keep the ground from turning to concrete, this B & D product did a great job at weed control. We have a 20' x 50' vegetable garden. It is convenient, not too heavy, I can do the whole garden in under two battery charges, my wife can easily use it (we're seniors, too). If you let the tool do the work without trying to force it, you'll be happy. I did the spring turning with a regular tiller - an old one that does about as much damage to me as it does to the dirt. This IS NOT meant to be a tool to break new ground and turn it into a garden.
This IS meant to be a tool to do keep the dirt loose around plants and for minor weed control. Just as you wouldn't try to drive a spike with a tack hammer, don't try to compare this with a full sized tiller. You have to be patient, but it will do the job. Twice this summer, I ran the big tiller between the rows.
This cultivator is perfect for the homeowner. If you have a lot of clay in your soil, this is ideal. It works great around trees, planting shrubs or flowers, loosening soil.
I used Roundup on my "weedy" grass areas, then used this little unit to till it up to prep for seeding. I just finished up tilling up a good portion of lawn with this thing. I purchased this B&D Cultivator this spring intending on using it for replanting grass. As others have mentioned, this thing works long enough on a charge that I'm ready for a little rest when it is. With the ground a little damp, this little cordless unit just rips up the old grass and leaves dirt loosened up for seeding. This things has worked great, and I've put it through a lot of work.
If you are like me and have a somewhat small area of land to cultivate this tool is for you and it won't break your back.
No cord so you can get in anywhere without either tripping over cords or damaging plants with cords. However, if you are looking for a handy cultivator or a powered "Garden Weasel" this is a dream come true. Not overly large so you can weed in the tightest of spots. First, this is not a tiller. If you are looking for a cheap-alternative to buying a tiller this is not it. Cordless has its advantages on this tool (mentioned above) with the only downside being that it isn't just plug and go, but has to be charged for a few hours before use. Actually cords vs cordless is an ongoing debate at our house. I charged it and was using within 24 hours of purchase.
