Cultivating - The 1st Step of WOLFing

Step one: Cultivate!

It’s time to begin the first step of WOLFing. Excited? We are. Now is the perfect time to start cultivating your soil to prevent it from drying out and to help your seeds and seedlings get those early season nutrients that are so important in initial growth. 

For this essential task we suggest three of WOLF Garten’s cultivators: the classic cultivator, the cultivator for all soil conditions and the heavy-duty workhorse. 

All three are attachments for the InterLocken handle, which is designed to let you work standing up, eliminating any problems with bending and knee or back pain. Remember the stories of people bent over in the hot sun, slaving over their finicky gardens? Those days are gone. 

But, which cultivator is right for you? 

For traditional cultivation, use the classic BAM cultivator, with “L” shaped tines. This WOLF cultivator has an extra bend that allows the tines to travel with the surface of the ground and is perfect for breaking up the average soil consistency in the garden. And the BAM does not become obsolete once your garden begins sprouting up; its lightweight design makes it the best tool to weed and cultivate well into the growing season. 

To break up average soil, use the medium soil BEM cultivator. It’s lance-shaped prongs are designed to break up medium to hard soils and the pointed tines will break even the most stubborn soils. The wide tongs are made to get the job done quickly and will cultivate more area faster. Perfect for spring and fall use, this powerful tool can be used to cultivate in the spring and to weed large areas between rows of plantings or vegetables. 

If you happen to have a very large garden, try the heavy soil BOM cultivator. This, the “real deal of cultivators,” is equipped with “Arrowhead” prongs welded to each tine that break up and lift most soils and plow through the earth. The heavy-soil cultivator is perfect for preparing your vegetable or flower garden in the spring and turning it again in the fall. 

So, try one or try 'em all. All WOLF Garten cultivators have a sleek, modern look and are designed to loosen and aerate the soil without damaging existing roots. 

Get out there and start that garden. Let us know how your ’09 growing season is looking and feel free to share any cultivation tips or tricks of your own!
