Days to Spring: 13
There is n’t much that Eliot Coleman does n’t do well . He ’s a farmer , author , lecturer , and arguably the father of the advanced constituent movement . Now tot up to that list inventor and garden instrument innovator . Several year ago Eliot partnered with Johnny ’s Selected Seeds in Maine to design and commercialise a line of gardening tools that are as thoughtful as they are durable ( their Mainer , so no surprise there ) . Here atFine Gardeningwe’ve been singing the congratulations of the 3 - Tooth Cultivator , designed by Eliot for years . Now we ’re equally enamored with the smaller version , the Eliot Coleman designedHand Tiller . It is the unadulterated puppet for lightly loosening grease and prepping bed for the forthcoming time of year . It ’s also great for prying out smaller rocks and root , so stop using your poor pruning hook !
Made in Switzerland , the forged brand tines and forefront are securely attached to the solid ash Sir Henry Joseph Wood handle , so there ’s minuscule chance of breaking or bending .
Price : $ 80.00
