The cultivator has three sharp, bent tines making it ideal for removing weeds with long roots, aerating the soil and mixing compost through the soil. The pull motion overturns the soil which improves aeration and the push motion breaks up the overturned soil into smaller pieces.
Oil handles for a protective coat against heat and water. Unoiled handles may cause the handle to crack and weaken. We recommend boiled linseed oil. Frequency depends on conditions. At the very least oil handles at the beginning of the gardening season.
