Tools for working the soil
Microcultivator XT - new version
Ref : WO1145
An improved version of Johnny's original.
The microcultivator is the reliable benchmark for professional-quality bed preparation. Not to be confused with a rotovator, it mixes the first two inches of soil to produce a finely tended, level surface ready for planting.
The new version of Johnny's Seeds' microtiller has been upgraded with a drive system that generates more torque and improved responsiveness. The powerful gear drive is easily controlled by a light pull on the trigger, which is shaped into a set of contoured handles.
The benefits of the XT microcultivator
- Improved soil health (leaves soil structure and beneficial microbes intact), leading to better crop production over time
- Better weed management (mixes only the top layer of soil to avoid bringing weed seeds to the surface to germinate)
- Ideal for minimum tillage operations
- Efficient way to mix compost and soil improvers
- Ideal for high tunnels as it's lightweight, portable and doesn't emit fumes
