Every year there are new tools and gadgets, almost anything one can imagine for the gardener. Eric loves trying them out. But also there are the old standards that most gardeners truly can’t do without. Eric shows us several of his favorites. The first is his Mantis tiller that he's had for over 10 years and it's been worth every single penny. It still cranks up on the first pull every single spring. He doesn't know of a machine that does a better job of providing the perfect till every single time, especially for smaller spaces. His garden's not super large so this fits into really, really tight spaces and does an incredible job. This has the Honda four stroke engine. Eric thinks it's worth getting the one with a little more power, it makes quick work of a space. He tilled up this whole area in under 10 minutes, it's ready to plant. He suggests for the serious gardener definitely look into getting a great tiller.
