(ET) Cultivator

["Darryl McMahon" <darryl econogics com>]

I have just experienced one of those defining moments in my life as 
a gardener.  I grew up in a household that always had a small 
garden, and occasionally a big one.  I learned to despise weeding.

The Elec-Trak has been key in my having a garden again.  This 
spring I used my E12 with the rear-mounted roto-tiller to bust the 
sod and till up the earth.  Planting was a bit late due to other 
commitments (like the Electrathon where the Elec-Trak swept the 
track).

However, the garden had reached the point where weeding was 
now necessary.  I took the tractor out to the garden, and plugged in 
the cultivator for real use for the first time.  (I had tested it out on 
the weekend to make sure it and the cord were in good operating 
condition, and added oil to the gear box.)  

Wow!  What a treat!  The cultivator just hummed through the 
spaces between rows of plants, churning up the top inch or so or 
soil, mowing down the weeds.  This is the way weeding should be 
done.  Forget hoes or getting down on hands and knees.  I'm never 
weeding again without this marvellous device.
