The next in the lawn care equipment category are the tillers. Tilling is very essential to allow the penetration of new seeds in the garden. Tilling cracks the top soil and lets it mix with the seeds. By the process of tilling most of the nutrients are absorbed by the soil and therefore it allows it to be absorbed by the plants and promotes a quality yield. Having a soil test can truly save you money in the long run. Who wants to purchase fertilizer if it is not needed? Likewise, you may hurt your lawn by adding things to it that it does not need. Lawn grass grows best when it is planted in soil that has a pH of 6.2 - 6.5. What this means is that your lawn grass will receive the most nutrients if it is planted in soil within this pH range. The amount of limestone you add will be incumbent upon your soil’s pH level. If you soil has a pH level above 8.0, your soil is alkaline. Alkaline soil is sometimes referred to as “sweet soil.” When your lawn soil has a level of 8.0 or higher your lawn grasses will turn pale and yellow because no iron or manganese is available. The smallest lawn mower is the traditional form of mower and is used on small lawns and gardens. The large and self contained mowers allow the person to ride on it throughout the garden and chop the grass as well. The mowers today are produced according to the size, shape and angles of the blades used in it. Shears are a must for any gardener. Pruning shears come in handy to cut small limbs and for trimming shrubs and bushes. You do not have to spend a fortune on shears, either. Just do not buy the cheapest pair that you find. You want them to last forever. Loppers, a cutting tool that has a long handle, are good for cutting branches that are up to an inch in diameter. Most of the time such pests and bacteria are responsible for decreasing the quality of the yield produced in your garden. Some other natural tillers that are present to help us mix seeds into the soil are earthworms. They enhance the yield and also help in tilling the soil of your garden. These natural tillers are easy to get in the market and are very helpful in maintaining your garden and you don’t have to pay them.
