Customer Reviews:
Not bad
Pros: Lightweight, you can just pick it up and pack it around instead of dragging it POWERFUL! I wasn't expecting it at all and had a very relaxed grip when I first turned it on, it almost zoomed out of my hands. Easy Assembly, 2 screws and two bolts with wingnuts, then you just "press in" the cord a couple places where required. about double the tine span the mantis tillers have, at less than half the price. Cons: Maybe a little too light weight, it didn't till very deep while walking a steady slow pace. As for the fact that it doesn't till very deep, I believe just re-tilling the area would do the job, which I would have done today but was in a hurry to get my strawberry plants in the ground before they died. I tilled a 10x10 patch of packed down soil, in under 10 minutes with no signs of overheating, so really, it's not a bad machine for people with small to medium gardens (like me!) but I wouldn't recommend it for a large...

Good electric tiller
It does the job pretty well. It did take me a while to get through some sod since I didn't want to take the time to cut it out with a shovel like I did last time. It is light so you have to hold it back and let it dig for a while to get it tilled down as deep as you want, but overall for the money and the lack of maintenance needed since it is electric, it is a good deal and helpful tool.

Mark Keaton's Extension News: Don't Bag Your Leaves This Fall
07.02.12 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

Mower

Bagging leaves and not composting them this fall will deprive your landscape and garden of fertilizer nutrients they can use next spring.

Leaves contain 50-80 percent of the nutrients extracted by trees from the soil and air during the growing season. Your landscape is going to benefit if you use the leaves instead of bagging them.

So, how can you use all those leaves? One alternative is to mow them, preferably with a mulching mower. If you have a light cover of leaves, you can chop them up and leave them on the lawn. They'll decompose before spring.

If you have too many leaves to leave on the ground, you can chop them up and put a 2-3 inch layer of the mulch in flower beds, around shrubs or trees and between the rows in your garden. Mulching has several benefits. It reduces moisture evaporation from the soil surface and inhibits weed growth. Mulching also moderates the soil temperature, keeps soil from eroding and prevents soil compaction.

A lawn mower with a bag attachment provides an easy way to collect shredded leaves and carry them to the mulching site. If you don't have a bag attachment, you can mow in a circle and then rake or blow the leaves where you want them.
