Your raised garden beds have never looked better.

This tiller is great for small areas where the soil is soft. So, mixing up in a raised bed after adding compost. Loosing grass in an established flower bed that has been ammended. Soil that was rained on the day before (and some of that might be too hard to turn with this). the tines are long enough to dislodge grass and help turn in compost, but not so deep that you'll disturb too much soil structure. If you need to go deeper, get a pitchfork! My 8 year old can use it. But if you go after dry soil or heavily compacted soil or heavy clay soil that is dried out... don't plan to see much use in this tiller. Though in those types of soil, I've broken pitchforks, too. This will help break soil apart to some extent, but it also just depends on what the soil is like when you start using it. Some soil is just super hard or in rough shape and will need lots of work whatever set of tools you have.

I bought this tool for my wife a couple of years ago to use in her garden for breaking up ground in her raised beds for planting. She says it has worked great for that, but until today I had never used it myself. Today I needed to try to break up some thick grass sod and figured I'd give it a try. We've had a couple of days of rain so the the sod was pretty damp and I figured that might help. I couldn't believe how well this worked for this! Granted, it wasn't easy, and I'm sure my petite wife, and most other women, would not have been able to do this, but for a stubborn Marine it worked pretty well for an unpowered hand tool, and gave me a good workout while I was at it! I sure wouldn't want to have to do a large area this way, but for the small area I needed to work up it was good. It is a very strong tool. With the amount of force and torque I was putting on this thing I was impressed with how well it held up, without any twisting or bending. Believe me, I've destroyed many other lesser hand tools using much less force. If it will stand up to this type of job, which I'm sure it was not intended for, it will more than handle most garden chores, and is only limited by the amount of effort you want to put into it. Highly recommended.

the handles are its weak point. theyre not long enough for twisting and getting torque in. and the foam handles come off easily. the tines are dull not spiked. the welds are good, height is good. the coating is good.

I am so grateful to have found the Yard Butler tiller. I have reached to stage in my life that turning soil in the vegetable garden is pretty much beyond me and this tool has made keeping my veg garden going a possibility.

This looks like a well made product but after 2 hours of use in relatively soft soil, the claws have bent…..

I tried it out this week since it's warmer. It was SO much easier digging up my old strawberry beds than a shovel. I tried my hand shovel first and it was too much work. Then I tried the Yard Butler. Omg, it was so easy! Push it in the dirt and turn, everything loosened right up. I can't wait to use it in areas where I want to start some garden plots. It's very sturdy too. It also stands up on its own. Bonus! I highly recommend it.

I've needed one of these for years but didn't know it even existed. I can now tackle projects in the garden that I never would have been able to do without this workhorse. Before getting this, I used a handful of hand-held tools. There were several garden projects that weren't getting done because I dreaded the hard work that made my hands hurt. Now I'm like a garden ninja. Using this I can break up difficult dirt to remove old plants along with their roots and have nice tilled soil for new plants. I had one area where roots had raised the soil level higher than I wanted and I was able to tackle the job of breaking up the roots and getting the soil level where it belonged by myself.

I bought this because I wanted to prepare a small area of my yard to plant some tomatoes and other vegetables this Spring. Because the area is not that big, I did not want to invest the money to purchase an electric tiller. So I saved a lot and bought this device instead. It was easy to use. It took a little effort on the fairly dry ground I was working with, but I never felt like it was going to bend or break.My only complaint is that the foam covers on the handles will move when you using the tool, so you have to push the covers back into place sometimes. I think that is something the vendor could easily fix.

I have always used the Garden Claw. But, the one i had on my watch list sold out right when I was ready to order. So, I ordered this instead. When I got it, I stood it up and it was the perfect height for me (I am 5ft 6in). it was a few days before I could use it due to other obligations. But, we had let our flowerbeds grow up over the last 5 years. This year, we decided to put them back in. So, I went out and started by my side porch because my husband had bought me a Knockout rose. I put it in the ground and twisted and it pulled up everything underneath it as well as to each side. I have not experienced what others have experienced with the handle grips sliding off. They have stayed put and I have used this extensively. Today was able to clear out a large section of the flowerbeds in a mater of a couple of hours. This thing is much better than the Garden Claw. Good quality, great price, awesome tool!

I used this today for the first time and am very pleased with it. I have a small densely planted garden bed and turning over the soil has been awkward for me. The Yard Butler really made it much easier, and it was actually fun. Got my whole bed loosened up and then top dressed with compost and used the YB to work the compost in a bit. The tines are only 4" or 5" long, so if you want to loosen soil deeper, you're gonna have to do some more work, but for me, this is a lot better than what I've been doing previously. Note: We don't have clay soil, so that would be a much bigger chore, but I think this tool would still be a good help. The YB seems very sturdy and solid, and for $25, a great deal. Very happy with this purchase. I'm only taking off a star because it came with the California lead warning and the advice that you wash your hands after using.
