Should you Buy an Electric Garden Tiller?

- Today I was tilling a new garden for rhubarb and decided to make this little review video of the electric garden tiller I have.
I am really impressed with the performance of this little tiller and I recommend it to anyone with a small to medium garden or for flower beds.
I still plan on buying a gas-powered tiller at one point but this will do the job until then.
Watch how it easily tears through my grassy lawn, into the topsoil and then into the fill to create a new garden bed. Then it quickly mixes compost with the soil and the garden is ready for planting.

I have never seen an electric tiller in action so I was watching closely. I have a smaller gas powered Honda with 4 cutting wheels on it. I'd say that the one you used and mine are fairly similar. I find that these smaller tillers bounce a lot but do the trick after a little extra time. One thing that helps me is a pitch fork. That really helps lift the soil and loosens it a bit. Then come in with the tiller and it usually cuts through like butter. I have a good sized raised bed so I have prep the soil before planting all my veggies.
Nice little review here... I hope all your stuff is growing great!
They do tend to hop a lot, especially when there are rocks. But it beats doing it the old fashion way with a hoe, rake and shovel 😂 I did all my previous gardens by hand and don't miss that! So far my garden isn't doing fantastic, we've had a very hot, dry summer and I've been so busy with the camper I neglected the garden a bit early on when it was most important. I'll be doing a year 2 update video in late fall when the season is over.
Looks pretty fun using that thing, not gonna lie! 😅 Cozy vibes as always! ❤️
It is a good little tool!
Brilliant video thanks for sharing I think the best thing about a electric tiller is it works the soil to a fine tilt I use it all the time in my large garden where I have raised beds and two polytunnels saves time and effort I think we paid 80 euros 5 years ago and its still as good as new
It sure does come in handy
It is a marvelous appliance I've already ordered 1
It is definitely a great tool for the price. I have since upgraded to a bigger one but still use this for smaller jobs.
A very thorough and very well done review my good man
Thank you!
Great test and review my man! Definitely sounds like tough work but hopefully you get a gas one soon. This is really useful to anyone who is thinking about getting one so great job.
Maybe next year 🤞
I have electric rotavater its brilliant for digging my raised beds I think we paid about $100 €90 we live in Ireland as I said before a brilliant little machine for digging my garden
Greetings from Canada!
I got a weed lawn and hard compact soil. This would take ages I imagine.
Depends how big an area you want to do and how deep. I did my four 4'x30' gardens with it the first two years before getting a rear tine. It's definitely suited for small jobs or those with limited budgets.
Great review don't need one but i will now know if it is worth buying
Thank you 👍
Great video, thanks brother!
Set up a lawn sprinkler for a while before rotavating, and they work better if you walk backward
That's something I never thought of, good idea
Always an interesting an entertaining watch. 🤓
Thank you!
Never thought of an electric tiller before. Seems you have your work cut out for you. Glad you can use this until you can get a gas one.
Yes it is a lot of work for one person, but seeing everything grow then the harvest in the fall is worth it.
I have a Ryobi electric tiller, about that size. I love it. I had a small gas one. When it wore out, I chose electric. Wouldn't go back to gas.
I will be upgrading to a larger gas tiller for big jobs but will keep this one for the smaller beds.
What would happen if it hit a tree root? Would it destroy it?
Depends on the size of the root, small ones it chops up, bigger ones it chips away at and kind of bounces off of.
Good video But feels like watching paint dry? i might buy one for my potatoes Thanks
I know not to quit my day job 😂
Is it easy to assemble if we order it soon thank u
Yes you just attach the handle if I remember correctly
I just checked and amazon is out of the one I have in the video but I added 2 links in the video description for 2 other ones that are available. One of them is a larger version of the one that I have and it looks pretty rugged.
If you would of pulled it backward first go then you dont get all that jumping around
I'll try that next time, thanks!
Ooooh, a 20lb rock is not going to end well for anyone, let alone the tiller
Haha I agree. There were quite a few surprises hidden in the deep!
