Your Choices For the Best Tiller And Cultivator

My mom was an avid gardener and she grew a lovely flower garden, every year. She had the best tiller and cultivator – my dad. 🙂 

If you don’t live in easy soil condition areas like they did, you may need some help starting your garden every spring.

I hope all the information in this article will help you choose the cultivator or tiller that is best for your garden.

 

 

Electric and/or cordless garden tools are:

• Lower in the carbon footprint they produce
• Easier to reach gardens farther from your house
• Worry-free about pollution and tangling in cords
• Lighter, less heavy duty, but perfect for smaller non-commercial gardens
• No gas exhaust to contaminate your soil

 

What Is The Best Garden Tiller

 

You can spend between $90 and $2,000.00 on a tiller/cultivator. A tiller can turn the soil between 4 inches and ten inches in depth. 

You will need the best one for your soil. Is your soil a bit sandy and loose? Or mixed with clay and very packed?

Or something in between – in terms of the effort required to prepare for planting a garden?

 

What is the difference between a garden tiller and a cultivator?

 

A cultivator is generally designed to mix loose soil, while a garden tiller is intended to break up dry, packed chunks of ground.

If you are about to prepare a brand new garden area for planting, a cultivator will be too weak to to do this. The tines are simply not up to the task.

You will need a tiller which has more power and  heavier duty tines.

How deep will a cultivator dig?

The digging depth of a cultivator is around 4 inches. For a previously used garden, or a garden with loose soil, you can rejuvenate it in spring with a cultivator.

 

Can You Overtill A Garden?

 

Yes, you can.

Tilling too early in the season, before the spring sun has dried out the snow melt, can diminish the condition of your soil.

Tillage at the right time, can increase beneficial bacteria in your soil. This triggers the composting of organic material and result in the transfer of nutrients to plant roots.

You will also aerate the soil, and introduces oxygen to the organisms in your garden. This will feed them and increase their benefits to the development of your flowers or vegetable crops.

If these organisms get exposed prematurely, the plants don’t flourish from their benefits. Consequently, the offloads of nutrients in the soil may simply be flushed away by spring rainfalls and general erosion.

Rule of thumb is to wait till the spring sogginess has dried down to 6-8 inches.

Manually forking leaf scraps and other compost will greatly enhance your earthworm population.

Some gardeners understandably will need a more powerful gas fueled tiller. There are many options for those too. This article focuses on the electric, including cordless models.

I just love the following article. I mean, why gardening? Many reasons! I hope you enjoy Li’s information on gardening.

Gardening – To Sustain Health, Boost Morale, and Generate an Income – Based on Scientific Research! by Li Smith

Gardening keeps life sunny-side up. We are all victims of stress in one form or another. Stress puts pressure on your immune system leaving you susceptible to illness and depression. It also appears to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and can delay wound healing. Research shows that gardeners have the same brain wave patterns as people who meditate. We are genetically programmed to seek nature and interact with it to set up these brain waves in motion – especially during times of stress, says SA Gardening Magazine, June 2005. Apart from recovering more quickly from every day stress and mental fatigue, growing seeds successfully gives us a feeling of self-confidence. A sure-fire recipe for business success.

Getting your hands in the soil and planting can generate sales. By reaping your crops you can earn a good income especially in organic production. “The organic revolution has taken the agricultural world by storm”, according to Farmer’s Weekly Magazine, SA. Getting into this market requires research and long-term planning. Here’s How:

1. Draw a plan and design where your plants should be; trees, herbs, vegetables, flowers, etc.

2. Decide which crops to grow, determined by the size of your available ground. Take into account your soil, climate, water (the water of different plants vary, so group together plants with similar watering needs), and your local market demand when determining how much to plant. I grow a variety of crops for my local market. My mainstay is wheatgrass – the young wheat plant which is popular at my nearby Health Food shop, and recently my passion fruit sold well. They are known in South Africa as the granadilla, and they have an edible egg-shaped fleshy fruit. A supplier at the health shop recently sold over $130 worth of figs growing from her one tree.

If there is a need in your market for sweet potatoes, for instance, your soil should have a high percentage of sand to suit plants with a deep root system. The same goes for carrots, potatoes, maize/corn. Loamy soil will suit most plant species, while clay soil is very limiting and needs to be built up for crop production. Sun and Shade: The following vegetables will tolerate some shade, although they prefer sunny conditions: tomatoes, celery, Swiss chard, green and red peppers, cabbages, parsley, spring onion, chives and lettuce.

How nutrient-dense is your ground? Mulch is decomposing vegetable matter, peat, etc., used to prevent soil erosion or enrich the soil. Organic matter such as compost will boost it, and increases water retention of all types of soil. The earths fertility is determined by the presence of earthworms. The earthworm relies on the biological conditions of your soil, and soil health depends on the critical role of chemicals in the atmosphere.

As Above, so Below

According to Scientific American issue, Atmospheric Dust and Acid Rain by Lars O. Hedin and Gene E. Likens, “Acids and bases are measured by what is known as the pH scale: Solutions with a pH of less than 7 are acidic; those with a pH greater than 7 are basic; those with a pH of 7 are neutral. Most of the bases in the atmosphere can be found in air-born particles referred to as atmospheric dust. These dust particles are rich in minerals such as calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate-which act as bases when they are dissolved in water. These bases neutralize acidic pollutants such as sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides from sources such as fossil fuel combustion, cement manufacturing, etc”.

The chemical interplay that effect conditions in the atmosphere also plays a crucial role in the pH scale or ratio governing our bodies. Most diets are too acidic, and a simple blood test will be able to show your acid/alkaline ratio. It should tend towards a pH of 7.4.

In much the same way that chemical bases in the atmosphere counter the effects of acid rain by neutralizing acidic pollutants, our bodies depend on a decent amount of alkaline properties to counter and balance the effect of acids in our systems. Many of the foods we eat/drink DO NOT have health benefits, and can leave an acidic ash in our bloodstream and organs. This is why antacids are used for an upset stomach. Antacids are not ideal for sustaining long-term health-we need viable alternatives for correcting our acid/alkaline balance. With a formidable body knowledge available to us about plants, herbs and flowers, we can take stock of our lives and make changes that can make us healthier. It is important that the crops we grow thrive in optimal soil.

This is where the Excavators live, and their underground presence is directly related to increased soil productivity. The earthworm is a common animal-like creature, and it is responsible for soil bio-diversity. Irmela Reichardt, South African author and organic gardening expert says, “Earthworms are amazing diggers, integrating organic matter into the soil and bringing up nutrients. Through their constant tunneling, they open up channels, thereby increasing soil aeration and drainage and allowing plant roots easier access to nutrients and water. These powerful ‘workmen’ eat large amounts (compared to their own weight) of organic matter and break it down into pure humus”. Soil aggregates are increased and strengthened by their activity.

3. Make your own Super-Soil. The compost bin or heap is your biological recycling center. For the earth to continue to nurture us and our children, there are many scientific, ecological avenues available for re-building the soil. Here our greatest potential lies within our own gardens. Its hearth and heart is the compost heap. This biological recycling center is charred rich black in color, moist and teeming with earthworms. It has the smell of a clean forest, warm and woody. Composting is easy! It takes about 5 or 6 month to get your compost bin or heap ready. Turn it about once a month. This involves moving the bottom of the pile to the top, and the sides to the middle.

4. Cultivate crops with high levels of vitamins and nutrients necessary for sustaining healthy living.

5. Stock up on organically grown seeds, and use organic potting soil and compost.

Good luck with growing your edible garden. The simple pleasure you derive from your time spent in it will reflect in your health, pocket and outlook. Create a garden to reflect your life and dreams. Investigate really good local variants of your indigenous flora. Develop and design, plant your favorite specimens, and enjoy your time spent in your garden!

Research your crop for niche markets. If you decide to plant carrots, for instance, you will have a nutritious vegetable with a high yield in relation to the amount of ground it grows. The carrot has been one of nature’s best medicinal plants for many centuries. Carrots made their appearance in Central Asia over 3,000 years ago and they were used to treat cancer, indigestion, skin ulcers and impotency. It was regarded as an aphrodisiac by men living in Teheran in the 1870s where carrots were stewed with sugar. The plant pigment that gives the carrot its vivid orange color is beta-carotene which converts to vitamin A as needed. 1 fresh carrot gives us twice our daily requirement of vitamin A. They are also loaded with vitamins B1, B2 and B6, as well as vitamins C and K. Minerals include rich amounts of potassium, iron and calcium. Copper, zinc, magnesium and cobalt are also supplied. Researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture found that study participants who consume 2 carrots a day were able to lower their cholesterol levels by about 20% due to a soluble fiber in the carrot called calcium pectate.

I am author of ‘Wheatgrass: Superfood for a New Millennium’. This book explores the essentials of great health and longevity. It offers a new look into enzymes, chlorophyll, amino acids and minerals for health and vitality. It is easy to grow your own wheatgrass, vegetables and herbs. I have witnessed many cases of dramatic healing among those consuming wheatgrass juice, including the reversal of high blood pressure, anemia, asthma and kidney dysfunction. I have appeared on South African television and in People magazine promoting wheatgrass as a therapeutic superfood. ‘Wheatgrass’ was published by Vital Health Publishing. Brand: Square One Publishers. USA.

Why Outdoor Electric Patio Heaters Are Popular

Outdoor electric patio heaters will enhance your relaxation and entertainment time outdoors in the fresh air, enchanted evenings and sun drenched areas, whenever you choose.

 

Getting the maximum use of your patio, deck or back yard space includes your enjoyment of it over as much of the year as possible, in your climate region.

 

Can I Put My Patio Heater On A Wood Deck?

Yes, as long as you are using a heater designed for the outdoors. It will not heat up the platform it is placed on.

Do note that these outdoor heaters should not be placed on grass, but on a stable, fixed, flat surface.

Most of these heaters will come with a safety switch that turns the unit off if it tilts past a certain angle.

Electric heaters are less expensive than propane units. Natural gas is the least expensive, but electricity is cleaner.

Electric heaters can be used in an enclosed patio or deck space, and indoors too. There are no harmful emissions.

Electric outdoor patio heating is the most environmentally clean choice.

What Is The Clearance Requirement For Outdoor Patio Heaters?

Consider that you will need at least thirty inches clearance around all emitter screens and reflector surfaces.

Patio furniture, plants and combustible pots like wicker or baskets, and fabric decorations can all help absorb heat and make your outdoor area cozy.

So keep them as a benefit and not a liability! Give your heater space.

Can You Put A Patio Heater Under A Gazebo?

Yes, if the gazebo is wide open. If the gazebo is enclosed, use an indoor/outdoor heater that is designed for such use.

The easiest option for this will be an electric heater. It has no exhaust factor, and also running gas lines to your gazebo would get messy in your yard.

You can also use a radiant heater pointed toward your open gazebo. Whatever you decide to use, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.

And what exactly is infrared? “An infrared heater or heat lamp is a body with a higher temperature which transfers energy to a body with a lower temperature through electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the temperature of the emitting body, the wavelength of the peak of the infrared radiation ranges from 780 nm to 1 mm. No contact or medium between the two bodies is needed for the energy transfer.”…Wikipedia

These birds have a hand painted bronze copper finish.

Low in toxicity – important in today’s polluted environment, right?

 

Powder coating contributes to:

• Durability of the steel
• Rust resistance for average to humid areas
• Chip resistant – always a bonus that keeps the material good looking!
• Requires little or no maintenance
• The product contains no solvents and does not out-gas harmful chemicals

AL

This tall 67″ decorative spinner moves in two directions.

 

The metal is weather resistant.

 

Here is a wonderfully detailed review about its unusual use:

“This spinner is beautiful. I was shocked at the size. Purchased to ward of wild turkeys from pecking on my windows and eating my garden. The globe part is really big so the poles are tall and beefy. Support stand is solid. Mine arrive well packed but the spinner was packed bent. I had to carefully correct it. The welds do not look solid. Screws are very soft. Easy to assemble. Spins in low breeze but rotation is not very even, which I think that can be fixed with a screw replacement. What I care about is that it scare the wild turkeys away. It does.. the turkeys will come within ten feet and stop. Neighbors really like the look of it. Tip- do not use your foot to push the stand base in the ground. The welds just do not look strong enough. Use a rubber mallet with a piece of wood and make sure to use a level. It will not spin if it’s not level.“

 

Perhaps it would keep deer away from your garden too!

10 Best Landscaping Ideas For The Backyard – Ponds And Fountains 2020

Photo by Hilary Halliwell from Pexels

I hope you have fun choosing from the 10 best Landscaping ideas for the back yard and these beautiful ponds and fountains.

 

It is recommended that these fountains be brought in (if possible) or covered during winter months.

 

At all times, the pumps must be submerged.

 

 

Yet this minor maintenance requirement is well worth the result of having moving water with the calming sounds in your garden, atrium or on your patio.

 

I had a fountain in the courtyard where I lived when my baby was born. We spent many hours there while he slept, and I caught up on reading or caught a little nap myself. The sound of water falling was exactly what we needed.

 

In a back yard, or on your front yard area, these fountains will transform your property as only running water can. With or without a pond, perhaps with a waterfall, there are many options for your garden and patio designs.

This is on the Best Seller list and I understand that. This resin wicker box has a traditional look, but is much sturdier than natural wicker.

 

It has a cushion seat and will hold up to 400 pounds.

The rattan is hand woven and water resistant.

 

It has an elegant look and will hold your patio cushions, towels, small pool toys, BBQ implements or gardening tools.

Keter 229437 Eden Storage Bench, Grey

AL

 

This resin bench box assembles easily. Some customers added strapping across the bottom for extra sturdiness.

 

It is water proof and ventilated, to keep your items dry. Common sense does dictate not to put wet items (like swimming towels) in it.

 

Plastic is durable through all kinds of weather. This choice may be the perfect one for your yard.

 

You can add a lock to this box if you like.

 

The 18 ” back allows for extra patio cushions.

 

One con mentioned is that the bottom of the box cannot hold heavy items. Yet it is perfect for cushions, towels and small pool toys.

 

Purchasing two or three will make a furniture set configuration. Add a coffee table or fire pit for a great relaxation and dining area.

Festnight Outdoor Storage Bench Acacia Wood – Waterproof

AL

 

This attractive solid Acacia wood bench box got a good review initially, but then…It rained.

 

The liner is described as water resistant, but it seems best to throw a plastic tarp over the whole thing when it rains.

 

I had wondered about that, because it is obviously slatted wood. One buyer ended up putting a plexi-glass cover on top which for them, solved the water proof problem.

 

If you prefer wood, this one is a good choice even though it requires a little maintenance for wet weather.

Lifetime 60254 Heavy-Duty Outdoor Storage Deck Box, 150 Gallon, Desert Sand/Brown

This bench box can also accommodate a padlock.

HYD-parts Black Patio Storage Bench120 Gallon

AL

 

There are mixed reviews about this box’ sturdiness but much appreciation is expressed about how much it can hold.

 

It is handy to store your speakers, radio or other device for your back yard entertainment. It can take a lock, for extra security.

 

The black is a true one and can be a great decor addition, perhaps with colorful potted flowers bordering it. If you like tropical colored patio pillows, they will look fantastic with black.

70 Gallon Deck Box Brown Resin Patio Loveseat Slatback

AL

 

One of the first things I noticed from the purchaser photos was that one buyer bought three, effecting a living room type of configuration. It is quite attractive, with matching cushions.

 

This a great idea for a household that cannot afford the $1,500.00 plus patio furniture sets. Not only does this idea give you 210 gallons of storage space, but there is plenty of seating room for family and guests.

 

If you want to see those furniture sets to compare, you can check them out HERE.

 

The slat back design also makes this choice good for an indoor piece. Front halls, mud rooms and indoor porches will look very nice. And all that storage!

Tidyard Outdoor Garden Storage Chest Deck Box with 2 Wheels

AL

 

I have included this box, with wheels, even though it has no reviews, yet. It is on the “Most Wished For” list, and I can see why.

The set is described as light, but sturdy against wind.

 

Do you love to sit around a fire and roast marshmallows? This is perfect for your evenings outside with the kids!

 

Assembly is required. 

 

One reviewer mentioned a problem with the product that was remedied by customer service quickly.

 

Please note that the throw pillows and cube table shown in the picture are not part of this set.

 

A propane tank holder is included. It is not specified why it is separate or how it fits in the fire table assembly.

 

The love seat and two separate chairs make a small and cozy conversation area.

 

The durable aluminum is considered a tad rough by one purchaser, yet it was given four starts overall.

While some assembly is needed, reviewers state that it is easy and not time consuming.

 

The cushion fabric is 100% polyester,and is the standard outdoor water resistant quality.

 

You are paying for both structural and comfort quality with this patio set.

 

One amazon reviewer bought two sets, they loved their first one so much. The good impression made by the quality and comfort prompted them to do so.

 

And has it occurred to you that while increasing the square foot usage of your property without building a structure, you’re not increasing your property taxes?

 

That is a side effect benefit. The important thing is you and your family’s comfort and enjoyment of your patio/yard – and of each other!

 

Isn’t that factor the most precious?

GDF Studio Livingston Outdoor 4 Pc Club Chair Set

For a simple gathering area with a fire pit this fits the bill!

Modenzi Outdoor Sectional Patio Furniture with Propane Fire Pit Table Espresso Brown Wicker Resin

 

Available in six colors!

 

You can configure your own patio or deck design!

 

You may choose a long sofa, with the four sofa chairs in between the corner chairs.

 

Perhaps you would prefer a shorter sofa with two of the chairs placed at ninety degrees for a U-shaped design.

 

Some customers bought a couple of extra chairs to have both a long sofa and also the separate chairs for the U-shape.

 

And end table is included which stores the propane tank. You can enjoy it for a table, or set it aside or behind your area.

 

Wouldn’t this be a lovely way to wind down from your hectic days and weeks? You have plenty of room around the fire pit to linger after a dinner party with friends and family.

 

The powder coated steel is considered the best finish for these support frames.

 

What by the way, is powder-coated steel?

 

I certainly did not know that when I first started looking at patio sets. Because we all want the best and most durable materials, don’t we?

 

“Powder coating is a safe, dry finishing process that uses finely ground particles of pigment and resin to create a protective finish. We choose to powder coat our steel frames because it is low in toxicity and has low flammability.”

 

Low in toxicity – important in today’s polluted environment, right?

 

Powder coating contributes to:

• Durability of the steel
• Rust resistance for average to humid areas
• Chip resistant – always a bonus that keeps the material good looking!
• Requires little or no maintenance
• The product contains no solvents and does not out-gas harmful chemicals

 

All above information from here.

 

The UV resistant resin wicker is an attractive deep brown and will offset the color you choose to match with your patio/deck colors or other backyard setting.

 

The espresso coloring goes perfectly with the walnut hue of the fire pit table.

 

The fire pit comes with:

• A tempered glass wind guard barrier
• Lava rocks
• Electronic ignition for the fuel
• A cover to protect it when not being used

 

The end table hides a standard 20 lb. propane tank which is not included with this set.

 

Sometimes the set will be delivered on two subsequent days. Assembly is considered easy and will take two or more hours.

 

Some customers said they got clips in their order, and others did not. However, customer service gets a five star rating for quick responses!

 

As online shoppers, we sometimes have to deal with that, don’t we?

 

For the under-$1,500.00 category, I think this set is gorgeous!

 

For your entire outdoor area, you need the item below.

This is the go-to cleaner for your outdoor areas. You do not need to rinse the product.

 

This product has an accumulative effect. In wetter regions, people may use it every 4-6 months. In sunnier areas, customers use it every 18- 24 months.

The black and tan color scheme offers easy matching options with your patio furniture choices, and for added cushions, tablecloths and tableware.

 

 

 

The above shown is a similar canopy to the one I’m presenting today. It has been in this yard for well over ten years, with no problems. Under it, my friends have had a ping pong table for their recreation.

 

Here, it is being used for shelter, and their patio cushions have been collected for the duration of the the duration of the storm. Spunky, their cat (now deceased 🙁 ) has found respite too, for a nap. His ears are back, showing how disgruntled he was.

 

The strings of patio lights are well placed into the eave of this canopy. This ping pong table was handy for parties too!
