Want to turn part of your lawn into a colorful flower border?

Your MANTIS Electric Tiller makes it easy! Just run your tiller back and forth until the sod begins to break up. Then continue tilling. Your tiller will chop the clumps of sod until they’re fine. Then, it will work them into the soil. Pretty soon, you’ll have a soft, fresh planting bed.

A.How About a family-size vegetable garden?

Nowadays many gardeners prefer small gardens — especially in the suburbs, where space is at a premium. But, if you’re fortunate enough to own a large lot, you can create a bigger garden — a half acre or more. Here’s how:

1.First, hire someone with a tractor or big tiller to break ground for you. This is a one-time-only investment that’s well worth the small cost.

2.Then, use your tiller to break up any remaining clumps of soil or sod. Unlike a tractor or big tiller, your MANTIS Electric Tiller is a precision tool. It will pulverize your soil into a smooth seed bed.

B.Your MANTIS Electric Tiller makes weeding a pleasure!

As a tiller, your MANTIS Tiller works the soil down to 10" (25.4 cm) deep. But, as a cultivator, it gently cultivates the surface, only 2" to 3" (5.09 cm to 7.62 cm) deep.

First, you must switch the tines to the weeding position. This takes less than a minute.

Then, your MANTIS Electric Tiller’s sharp “tine teeth” will slice up those pesky weeds, burying them as you go along. And, since the tines in this position won’t dig too deep, they won’t hurt your plants’ precious root systems.

The result? Your tiller will cut your weeding time in half, and turn a tiresome chore into a pleasure.
