A garden tiller will help you take care of all your gardening needs, from breaking up the soil for your vegetable garden, and even digging deep into the earth. A garden tiller helps you by getting the work done much faster, since instead of doing all the work manually (which is a time consuming process), you can operate a garden tiller and get it done much faster. Whether to rent out a garden tiller or buy one, that depends on the amount of work which needs to be done on a regular basis. Through renting the machine you can get an idea of which particular model to buy through a trial and error method. If you are older for example, then an electronic garden tiller will be preferred since less strength will be required to operate such a machine and you can complete the whole gardening process with great ease.

One of the most highly recommended electric tillers on the market is the Mantis tiller. This tiller takes all the hard work out of gardening � it’s powerful and easy to use.
However, working with any power tool or electronic product you have to take some safety measures. Similarly working with a garden tiller requires you to take some precautions as well. To name one, it is necessary that you equip yourself with safety goggles and other safety equipment that will protect you if any accident occurs while working. Also, if you are working with a gas tiller, remember to fill up the tank with fuel before you start working, this is because while you are working the engine can get really hot and filling the tank up at that time with oil might cause burns. It is always better to be safe than sorry, so avoid any such mishaps by taking precautionary measures.

In order to get the maximum output while working on fresh land, it is also important that you do a little digging yourself before you use the garden tiller. This is because if you use the garden tiller directly on fresh land, the output you will get will not be up to what you expect. Digging first before starting out with the process will allow you to remove any rocks and huge chunks of soil, which might eventually damage the machine.

While working with a garden tiller it is also necessary that you have a good grip over the handles. Keep your balance throughout the process and take control over things. Walk slowly and steadily behind the tiller and always keep your distance. Never be too close to the garden tiller while you are working, and don't spend too much time on one spot or else you will be left with an uneven garden, and we all known that it is necessary for the whole piece of land to stay proportionate. Also, while working with a garden tiller, it is important that you walk in straight rows and move back and forth each row in order to cover the whole garden. Once the whole garden has been tilled, you can start with the whole process again from the other end.

It is a good practice to maintain your garden tiller properly in order for it to have a longer life. Clean the blades and tines of your garden tiller regularly, preferably at the start of each season. For easy rotation it is necessary to keep the parts lubricated. Apply oil on the machine so that you can easily handle the machine while working on the garden. Also, monitor the engine properly to ensure there aren't any signs of damage. This way, if there is a problem, you will be able to spot it on time and get it repaired. Then, after the whole gardening session is completed for the day, clean out your garden tiller. Remove any dirt, weed and grass off the machine and clean the machine thoroughly.
