Work the three prongs into the upper layer of soil and draw the cultivator through the surface. The combination of forking and raking actions helps loosen and break up the soil without requiring deep digging.
Repeat across the area until the surface has reached the texture required for planting or further preparation.
Use between established plants where space permits to loosen the surface of beds and borders. Take care around shallow-rooted plants, bulbs and newly planted areas to avoid damaging roots below the surface.
The long shaft makes the tool particularly convenient for working larger areas while remaining upright.
