- Solid Cast Aluminum Head
- Gel Insert Comfort Grip
- 3 Tines At 90°
- Hang Hole Handle
Cast Aluminum Cultivator With Gel Grip is the little hand cultivator you’ll appreciate for quick control. The solid, polished cast aluminum head resists rust and sheds soil easily, and the three tines are bent at a 90° angle so they bite into the top layer. An overmolded rubberized handle with gel side inserts keeps your grip comfortable when you’re working a bed for more than a few minutes. Our recommendation is to use it for frequent, light cultivation around ornamentals and vegetables before weeds get established.
This tool is sized for loosening crusted soil, pulling mulch back from crowns, and mixing amendments into the upper soil layer. It’s also handy for working granular fertilizer into the surface so it’s not sitting in the sun, and for blending compost into existing beds without disturbing deeper roots. When you’re done, the hang hole makes storage simple and keeps the tines from getting banged up in a bucket.

Product Tips
- Cultivate after watering or rainfall when the soil is slightly damp for easier, cleaner passes.
- Use short, shallow strokes around perennials to avoid tearing feeder roots near the surface.
- Mix granular fertilizer into the top inch of soil to limit sunlight breakdown and reduce runoff.
- Pull mulch back, cultivate lightly, then re-spread mulch to discourage new weed seeds from sprouting.
- Rinse and hang to dry so grit doesn’t build up in the grip texture.
