Front Tine Tillers Can Help Change An Overgrown Yard Into a Garden

With the growing trend of backyard gardens, increasing numbers of shoppers are putting tillers on their lists of must-have yard and garden equipment. This wonderful power tool quickly turns any area into perfectly-turned soil that only needs a little fertilizer, a few seeds, and a loving hand to turn the area into a productive vegetable garden or a lovely, flower-filled oasis.

Most home gardeners prefer the affordability of front-tine tillers. Although shoppers can depend on the Craftsman line of home tillers, many other brands including Shiller-Pfeiffer and King Kutter are available for purchase.

When choosing a front-tine tiller, there are a few things to consider. Shoppers should decide if they prefer a gas motor or a clean-running electric model. Although the electric tillers don't require the mess of constantly filling the tank with fuel, the cord can get in the way, and these models don't offer the same amount of power as their gas counterparts. On the other hand, they are much lighter and easier to use for a first-time gardener and work perfectly for small areas like borders and flower beds.

Another thing to consider is the width of the tines. Although a narrow row of tines can fit into tight areas with ease, this type of front tine tiller requires quite a few passes to completely prepare a home garden for planting. One of the best items to consider is a front tine tiller with four rows of tines. Use them all to cultivate larger spaces and remove the outer two for smaller areas or to weed between rows. With a little thought, home gardeners can have the best of both worlds.

Front-tine tillers are a wonderful way to engage in a rewarding activity that the entire family can enjoy. Not only is it amazing to watch a plant grow from a seed to maturity, this activity can save a tremendous amount on the typical grocery bill and be a first step towards living a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

Before using a front-tine tiller for the first time, take a few precautions. Read the user manual and safety instructions from beginning to end. Always follow the proper fueling and starting instructions to prevent burns, and remember to wear protective footwear just in case. If the area has any shallow utility lines, including electrical cables running to outlying buildings, locate each one and check its depth before using the tiller. Because front-tine tillers can dig as far as six inches deep, a little upfront work can prevent an irritating power outage and expensive repair bills - not to mention personal injury.
