Before you get to heirloom dreams and fresh basil, chances are that you’re going to have to break up some dirt that has a consistency somewhere between gravel and actual concrete. That’s where this electric tiller comes in.
Powered by a 13.5-amp motor and cutting a 16-inch-wide path, it churns through packed dirt with a set of durable steel tines that dig down and loosen the ground for planting. It’s ideal for prepping new beds, refreshing old ones, or mixing in compost without turning it into a full upper-body workout. Adjustable wheels help with maneuvering and depth control, and the folding handle makes it easier to store once your soil has officially been humbled. Plug it in, let it rip, and suddenly you’re the kind of person who knows things about nitrates in soil.
