Cultivators to Prepare Soil
for Planting
Having the right tools
on hand to prepare your garden
is essential to help your plants thrive. After all, fertile soil is a must for plant
beds and vegetable gardens. At Lowe’s, we offer an array of cultivating tools,
including easy-to-use electric
cultivators, that make preparing your garden beds easier than
ever.
Plug-in electric cultivators deliver plenty of power to
efficiently and effectively turn soil to prepare it for planting. Sturdy steel
tines break up the soil with ease, and an overload protection feature ensures
that the motor turns off to avoid damage if you hit rock or concrete. These
garden tools are also comfortable to use, thanks to ergonomic handles.
Flip-down wheels can make it a cinch to transport your cultivator from the
garage to the garden. And a convenient push-button start can get you breaking
up soil in no time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does an electric cultivator do?
A: Electric cultivators till garden beds or seedbeds. They work to
pulverize dirt and slice through soil for aeration that prepares it for
planting.
Q: What’s the difference between a tiller and
a cultivator?
A: Tillers are for breaking up hard or compact soil to prepare it
for a first planting. Cultivators prepare an existing garden bed by breaking up
the soil. You should use a cultivator on existing garden beds and a more
durable tiller when you’re creating new garden beds from tougher soil.
Q: What’s a cultivator used for?
A: Garden
cultivators are convenient tools that can help you to prepare your soil
for planting. They have sturdy steel tines that can soften and turn dirt for
cultivation. For more tips on preparing your soil, check out our Garden Cultivator and Tiller Buying
