Long Handled Cultivator - Silver

The long handle allows you to cultivate soil and weed while standing upright, significantly reducing the need to bend or kneel, which eases strain on your back and shoulders.

No, this cultivator is designed for loosening the top layer of soil, improving aeration, and disturbing weeds. It is not intended for deep digging or turning over large volumes of soil.

It features a drilled hole with a leather hanger for easy storage. Hang it in a dry, sheltered location, such as a shed or garage, to protect the ash wood handle from the elements.

It is most effective in average garden soil, helping to break up moderately compacted areas and prepare planting beds. It may struggle with extremely hard, clay-heavy soil without some initial loosening.

The tines are spaced 2.5cm apart, allowing for precise work in disturbing weeds and aerating soil between plants or in narrow garden rows.

After each use, clean the tines with water and a brush to remove soil and debris. Dry them thoroughly to prevent rust and maintain their effectiveness.

Ensure the tines are clean of hardened soil or sap. For persistent dullness, gently sharpen the edges with a metal file, being careful not to alter the tine shape significantly.

Apply a small amount of natural wood oil (like linseed or tung oil) to the handle and wipe off any excess. This will help maintain the wood's condition.

This tool is designed for surface aeration and weeding. For heavily compacted areas, pre-loosening with a spade or fork may be necessary before using the cultivator.
