If you have a piece of land with plenty of undergrowth, like most of us do, then it’s probably about time you bought a hand push plow cultivator. These nifty little devices allow you to easily clear a bit of undergrowth from your yard. When I was growing up we did this for fun – we’d plant seeds and pull the “plow” a few weeks later. In my opinion, it’s still one of the best ways to grow food in the back yard now. Plus, it’s a heck of a lot better than the old-fashioned hand pullers we used to use.

So what are some of the things you should look for when choosing a push plow cultivator? First of all, it should be able to handle the size and type of undergrowth you have in your garden. You also want to make sure the attachment is strong enough to handle your biggest perennial problem. Some gardeners use the same device year after year. Others decide to get rid of it and purchase a new model each season.

When shopping for a garden plow cultivator, go for one that has an automatic release lever. If it’s going to be your first time buying one, I suggest taking it out on an overcast day early in the spring so that you can control how far the blade will rotate. The reason you want to do this is so you won’t accidentally grab the wrong end and damage the tool instead of just the blade itself.

It goes without saying that you want your garden tool to last for a long time. However, many cheap push plow cultivators only last a few years before they finally quit working. To test this, simply take a handful of them out of the garden and let them sit for a year. You can easily tell the ones that have been in the garden longer are the ones that continue to work the best. Of course, this rule doesn’t apply if you have a large garden or if you use the device to cut grass.

You want to pay close attention to the garden you plan to use your push plow cultivator on. A garden that’s too small will require a different style of blade than one designed for a larger garden. You also want to consider how much traffic the area you plan on using it in gets.

If you have a small garden, don’t bother with the large hand-operated push plow cultivators because there’s no need for that much space. Just get a smaller hand operated push plow cultivator for a lower price. On the other hand, if you have a large garden, go ahead and spend the money on a larger unit. Don’t get the idea that because it’s larger it will perform better because it might. Instead, pay attention to how much work it takes to maintain it.

You may be able to get away with getting a less expensive push plow cultivator if it only works a few times a year. However, this won’t last you long. The last thing you need is a cultivator that produces small amounts of waste all throughout the year. The amount of waste it produces could affect the water levels in your garden. This could eventually lead to problems with the drainage of your garden.

When you do decide to get a hand push plow cultivator, make sure you choose one that comes with a guarantee. Just like any other equipment that you purchase, you want to be sure that it will work the way you expect it to. Some people even choose to wait a few years before using their new garden tool. This way they are more than guaranteed that they will be able to use the tool properly for the first couple of years.
