WORKING WITH THE CULTIVATOR

n
Deep turning over of the earth as was previously done is not the right concept. The existing earthworm cultures are disturbed by doing this and the
build up of humus, stimulated by micro organisms, destroyed. Bio-gardeners know that only the topmost layer of the valuable humus should be
worked. With the garden cultivator, the often laborious job of earth working becomes a pleasant, easy task. It works reliably in the smallest areas, in
narrow beds, between rows of plants or under shrubs and trees. Here the really shows what it is made of. The earth is loosened up easily, peat and
fertilizers are worked in and weeds removed. The specially shaped cultivator blades ensure that the earth is crumbled up finely so that it is suitable
for plant growth. The working depth is adjusted via the brake rod. The further down the rod is set, the deeper the blades reach. (Working depth from
5 - 12 cm).
TRANSPORT
n A forklift truck should be used to move the machine. The forks should be opened as far as possible and inserted into the pallet.
The weight of the machine is given on the Manufacturer's data plate together with the other technical information. otor-hoe can be transported to given
place by means of transport wheel (Fig 1 part. E). Switch off the engine before transporting the machine.
The development of the garden cultivator corresponds to the latest findings in biological horticulture.
