Sun Joe Electric Garden Cultivator Simplifies Soil Tilling for Home Gardeners
For gardeners who hate breaking up soil by hand, there's a new electric tool that can make the task easier. The Sun Joe 6.3 inch 2.5 Amp Electric Garden Cultivator is now available at Home Depot for $103.77.
This small cultivator has a telescoping shaft, making it adjustable to different heights. Its compact size also makes it easy to store in tight spaces, and it's electric-powered with an instant start, eliminating the need for messy fuels or smelly fumes.
The Sun Joe model TJ599E cultivator is ideal for tilling soil to a depth of 6 inches, which is enough to improve drainage and plant health. However, users are advised to avoid tilling when the soil is too wet, as this can make compaction worse.
Reviewers on Home Depot's website have praised the tool for its performance, but some have reported issues with it seizing or breaking in extremely tough soil. To overcome this, users may need to try breaking up clay soil first and using a 16-gauge extension cord when working at a distance of over 50 feet.
