Do you have a Tornado hand cultivator?

Private sectors and vegetable gardens need to be weed and dug twice a year for a good harvest. Many people use conventional bayonet shovels every year for such laborious work and are not even aware of the innovative hand tools like the Tornado cultivator. Now spring work in the garden will take less time and effort.

What is this device, how does the cultivator work

In short, the Tornado cultivator is a root remover or opener, an environmentally friendly multi-tool with multiple functions.

The Tornado hand cultivator consists of a metal rod by design. On one side of the rod, a handle is installed similar to a bicycle handlebar. The other end is equipped with teeth. However, those same teeth are in the form of a spiral, turned counterclockwise.

An important design feature of such a tool is the adjustment of the rod for growth. Because of this, you can use the tool for a capable person of any height, and even for a child taller than 1 meter.

Many people will ask how such a tool works correctly? It's simple - you need to set it perpendicular to the plane of the ground and turn until the teeth are completely immersed in the post.

A lot of good videos have been filmed about the work of the tornado cultivator. For example, this:

Even a fragile girl easily processes ridges of several tens of meters with just such a cultivator. Interestingly, the load distribution is well thought out. The user does not strain his back, but works with all parts of the body. Arms, back, shoulders, legs and torso are involved. If there is a load distribution, then it is almost impossible to get exhausted when working with the tool.

Experts advise using just such a tool on abandoned or neglected areas, because the removal of weeds and wild plants is the main function of the cultivator. Compared to a hoe, this cultivator will save both time and effort. There is no need for an uncomfortable position of the body when working, as well as periodic bends and squats.

How a manual cultivator and tornado root remover work in practice is shown in the video:

If you test a cultivator or root remover with shovel, it turns out that the shovel works the ground 4 times slower. Moreover, it doesn't matter who exactly used the tools, because when comparing, you need to perform chaotic movements at a certain pace.

Proper soil cultivation is accomplished by loosening, not moving the layer. The natural layer and the shallow root system are disturbed during aggressive digging with a conventional bayonet shovel. The correct use of the root cultivator preserves the right environment for future plants.

Benefits declared by the manufacturer:

1. Removing weeds is a pleasant, simple affair. All you need to do is immerse the cultivator pins around the weed.
2. It is convenient to get rid of unwanted vegetation on the ridges. It is impossible to spoil the growing crop with such a tool.
3. You can do the same as with a pitchfork when spreading weeds into compost pits or heaps.
4. Easy to assemble, convenient to store and easy to transport from site to site.
5. The working rods or teeth are made of hardened steel, resistant to corrosion.

• make the correct pits for the posts;
• cut and remove the roots of cherries, irgi and lilacs;

When working with full force, do not put pressure on the tool. It is better to make forward movements, the cultivator will sink into the ground itself thanks to the design of the rods. Moreover, the land layer will retain the correct structure.
