Garden Weasel Cultivator with Detachable Blades and Two Handles #90106

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The Garden Weasel cultivator is designed to loosen soil and perform weeding, with wheels that run crosswise against each other and its scissor-action blades to continually break up soil and pull weeds. It's "the original 5-way tool that loosens the soil and weeds the garden with half the effort - and twice as fast." The cultivator digs 1-1/2 inches into the soil for even tilling. Its detachable blades can be removed or positioned to work between wide and narrow rows, around plants, or as a hand tool, and it comes with both a long and short handle for more versatility. This cultivator comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Amazon.com Review
Originally invented and marketed in Germany, the Garden Weasel is still an amazing garden tool, even after 15 years of "As Seen on TV" advertising here in the States. Its self-cleaning rotary cutters run crosswise against each other, meeting about 1-1/2 inches below the ground to break the surface soil and creating a fine till with their scissorlike action. Use this tool to break up soil in large areas or wide rows or to scarify soil for seeding. If you remove a few of the blades, you can work on exceptionally narrow rows or around plants. By using the short handle (included), you can work in greenhouses or rock gardens. Clearly, there are many uses for this tool--it's hard to imagine, but after all these years, it's still one of the best cultivators on the market. Ingenious design, versatile applications, and solid construction have kept this tool at the top for decades. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

3.0 out of 5 stars not so fast, July 11, 2001

By A Customer

The garden weasal 90106 works great in already cultivated soil. I does not work well in soil that has not been previously broken up. It barely broke up a sandy compacted soil enough to plant small grass seed. We were happy it did that but disappointed that it would not dig into soil as advertised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tool!, May 15, 2000

By	Pamela J. White - See all my reviews

I purchased the Weasel to keep my newly planted garden free from small, developing weeds. It does a great job of this. It also keeps the soil loose and cultivated. I don't know how well it would work on a garden full of established weeds, but it works great for the purpose in which I purchased it. Using it weekly should keep my garden weed free all summer!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for preparing soil for planting, but not much else., November 26, 2003

By	David Drake (Pomona, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This tool works good at tilling soil before planting seed, but I have not found much use for it other than that. It definitely doesn't work on established weeds, I found that large weeds just got all tangled up in the spokes and jammed it.
