10 Best Mini Tillers (Compact, Small & Lightweight) Reviews 2023
Any successful gardener will tell you that maintaining an already established garden begins with the soil. To make sure the ground is free of weeds and aerated enough to absorb rainfall and watering, you need a tool to properly dig below the surface without disturbing the roots of your crop. Mini tillers go where larger sized tillers can no longer fit. Their lightweight and narrow design makes it possible to get in between the tight rows of your vegetable or herb garden. Best suited for smaller plots with already loose, mostly stone-free soil, mini tillers keep your soil in optimal condition.
When it comes to purchasing a mini tiller, it can be difficult to sort through the many models and different price points. To help out, we’ve listed reviews for the 10 best mini tillers for this year based on best value and performance. Our buyer’s guide goes further in-depth so you can make an informed decision.

The 10 Best Mini Tillers
1. Sun Joe Electric Tiller and Cultivator – Best Overall
One of the best mini tillers on the market, the Sun Joe TJ603E Electric Tiller and Cultivator supplies power and durability while being environmentally friendly. The 12-amp electric motor starts with the push of a button and matches the strength of similar high-emission engines, but you won’t have the added maintenance.
Six steel angled tines rotate at 340 RPM to effortlessly cultivate a width of 16 inches and a depth of eight inches. You’ll be able to cut through tough weeds and aerate a variety of soil conditions, including hard-packed and rocky ground.
The Sun Joe TJ603E Electric Tiller and Cultivator also earns its place at our top spot for its clever and convenient transport and storage features. You can adjust the sturdy rear wheels into three different positions to make maneuvering back and forth an easy task by simply tipping back and rolling it. The collapsible handle allows for compact storage.
2. Earthwise Corded Tiller/Cultivator – Best Value
The Earthwise TC70065 Electric Tiller and Cultivator is the best mini tiller for the money. It has a powerful 6.5-amp electric motor, making it an eco-friendly alternative to gas-powered machines. Four durable steel tines cultivate and till up to 11″ wide and 8″ deep.
Best suited for small to mid-size gardens and flower beds, this tiller and cultivator effortlessly tackles weed control. Its single lever startup switch, lightweight design, and soft ergonomic grip make this tiller enjoyable to operate and compact to store.
While the Earthwise TC70065 has impressive power and durability for the price, it’s not quite as powerful and versatile at handling all soil conditions, landing it in second place. However, if you’re planning to use the Earthwise to maintain soil aeration and effective weed control, this mini tiller will give you the best performance for the value.
3. Schiller Grounds Care Tiller Cultivator – Premium Choice
If you’re willing to pay for thoughtful design options and power, the Schiller Grounds Care Mantis Tiller Cultivator is the premium choice. The Honda four-cycle engine requires only gas, with no fuel mixing. This 25cc engine spins the curved tines at a speed of up to 240 RPM and has the capability to break up even the most compacted soil.
You’ll find this mini tiller easy to start, practical to operate, and quiet to use. The nine-inch-wide mini tiller allows you to vary the speed through a finger-controlled throttle. You can also choose which depth to till by flipping the tines from a 10-inch depth to a shallow setting of two to three inches. At 24 pounds, it’s a lightweight choice due to its unique transmission design.
The extra features, such as ergonomically flared handles, infinite speed control, kickstand, and folding option for convenient storage, make this a premium, if high priced, choice.
4. Mantis 7924 Fast Start Tiller
The Mantis Fast Start Tiller solves any frustrating and time-consuming starter cord issues with fast-start technology, making it 75% easier to pull the starter cord. This mini tiller is also built for durability and ease of use.
The 21.2 gas two-cycle engine has the strength to dig into solid soil and hard clay. The lightweight mini tiller weighs only 21 pounds due to its transmission and engine-over-tine design. It has a narrow width of nine inches.
This mini tiller offers you versatility with the fingertip throttle, infinite speed control, and tine depth options. Spinning at a rate of up to 240 RPM, you have the choice of a full 10-inch depth or a shallow two to three inches. Other factors keeping this mini tiller at the top of our list include Sure-Grip handles that fold for compact storage.
5. BLACK+DECKER Cordless Garden Cultivator/Tiller
If you’re in the market for an electric engine without the cord, this model from Black and Decker has a 20-volt MAX lithium-ion battery that boasts a long lifespan of up to 325 square feet cultivated per charge. This mini tiller comes with a two-year limited warranty, which includes a battery and an Energy Star-qualified charger that can charge a fully depleted battery in about eight hours.
Another interesting feature of this battery-powered tiller are the counter-oscillating tines, which prevent weeds from tangling and disrupting the two long tines.
Best for already worked, loose soil, this mini tiller will help you with the season-long maintenance of seed prepping, weed control, and proper aeration of your gardens and landscape beds. It has an upright design, comfortable grips, and an adjustable, telescoping shaft.
6. Honda Rotating Gas Mini Tiller-Cultivator
Earning its place mid-way on our list, the FG110 has a standard wheel kit and depth bar, but this tiller-cultivator from Honda is also built to provide power, durability, reliability, and ease of operation. The Honda GX25 25 cc 4-stroke engine can cultivate most moderately packed soil.
The four heavy-duty, forward-rotating metal tines have a hybrid construction and are designed for strength and optimal performance.
This Honda model includes a long-lasting, reliable transmission. It also keeps your safety in mind with the added protection of a front engine guard.
7. Earthquake 31635 Mini Cultivator
If you’re looking for a mini tiller that can cultivate, weed, mulch, mix in fertilizer, and aerate a variety pre-tilled soils, the Earthquake Mini Cultivator is a solid choice. The versatile nature of this mini cultivator is ideal for small to medium gardens and flower beds.
Don’t worry about sacrificing power for this mini tiller’s small size and light weight. This model is equipped with a Viper engine, which is one of the largest and most powerful in its class.
The Earthquake Mini Cultivator also handles well. Overhand controls help you maneuver around plants and tight spaces while maintaining an even till. The on-board wheels can adjust, allowing you to set the depth you prefer and transport back and forth.
8. GardenTrax 4 Cycle Mini Cultivator
You can feel reassured by the manufacturer’s two-year warranty that the GardenTrax Mini Cultivator is built to last. It also has plenty of power supplied by a 38cc four-cycle engine that requires only gas and no oil to mix. This engine has all the strength you need to weed, cultivate, and till your established garden.
The forged steel tines are reversible and efficient and turn at 250 RPM, so you’ll be impressed with the smooth, aerated texture of the soil. No tools are necessary to adjust the tines or wheels. The top handle control allows you to maneuver between narrow rows of plants.
9. Craftsman 2-Cycle Gas Cultivator/Tiller
The Craftsman Gas Powered Cultivator/Tiller has many features that make it ideal for the regular weeding, cultivating, and tilling of small flowerbeds and gardens. It comes with a compact 25cc two-cycle engine that does require mixing, although the appropriate engine oil is included with purchase.
The patented steel tines are forward rolling and can be adjusted both in width from 6″ to 9″ and in depth of up to 5″. This lightweight, compact garden cultivator/tiller is easy to operate, as it offers variable speed throttle and a comfortable V-grip handle. There are also transport wheels that can be removed.
This model finds itself as our penultimate pick for its inconsistent start-up. Though it does feature a simple three-step start, user feedback suggests that it doesn’t always function properly.
10. Landworks Super Mini Tiller Cultivator
The Landworks Super Duty Tiller Cultivator made the cut for the last spot on our list. Touted as rigorously tested and EPA certified, this mini tiller works best in loose soil to dig, cultivate, and aerate.
A 3HP, 52cc, gas, two-stroke, single cylinder OHV engine powers this mini tiller, which also features four steel replaceable and adjustable forward-rotating tines. As the tines do get tangled in large, vined vegetation, it’s more ideal for removing weeds between garden rows.
You should note that there is assembly required and that some customers have reported difficulty with the instructions provided. It does require pulling a cord for start-up, which may take several attempts.
Buyer’s Guide – Picking the Best Mini Tiller
We hope our reviews will help you choose which mini tiller will work best for your garden’s needs. If you’re still undecided or would like to gain more in-depth knowledge about mini tillers, read on. This buyer’s guide breaks down the most important features to consider when making a purchase. It also covers what to expect and anticipate once you go to start up your new tiller.
When it comes to engines, you’ll have to choose between an electric engine and a gas-powered model. While both can produce as much power, you will have to either operate an electric mini tiller with an extension cord or choose a cordless model with a rechargeable battery. However, electric is the more environmentally friendly option. If you decide to opt for a gas engine, make sure you’re clear whether it takes gas only or an oil mixture. Gas-only options are more convenient than taking the time to create a mixture.
Types of Tines
If you have a project that requires breaking in hard-packed soil or clay, you’ll find better success if the tines of your mini tiller are curved rather than straight. Also, the material of the tines affects the durability. Ideally, look for steel. The tines’ RPM has a significant impact on the quality of aeration and texture of the finished tilled soil, and they should be able to adapt to any depth to allow for more versatility. Optimal depth for cultivating a standard garden should be around 10 inches, while routine weed control and aeration may only need a depth of two to three inches.
Maneuverability and Storage
Mini tillers are intended to be lightweight, below 30 pounds. For transporting your mini tiller from storage to garden and back again, it will be far less effort when your machine has well-functioning, durable wheels. Also, you want to be able to maneuver your tiller through narrow plant rows. Many of the top mini tillers come with ergonomic handles and infinite speed control at your fingertips, and a collapsible handle makes it easy to find space to store your mini tiller.
Which Mini Tiller is Right for Your Needs?
In the end, you need to consider how you’ll use your tiller. Certain higher priced models offer an array of features. However, if your needs are to simply maintain your garden rows and flower beds to keep them free of weeds and well aerated, you can opt for a lesser priced, basic model. However, don’t skip on value. Make sure that the engine suits your needs, that the tines are made of high-quality steel, and that the method of startup is reliable. Push button startups save a great deal of time and frustration.

Great for gardeners who love to grow their own, it's packed with space for potting essentials and features a galvanised metal worktop which is positioned at bench height tot comfortably stand when potting. Storage Shelves For Potting Essentials The potting table features two slatted shelves to store a watering can, pots and other potting essentials.

The table also features galvanised metal feet to provide further protection from ground damp. Hooks To Store Your Potting Tools Keep your hand tools within easy reach when you're busy potting by hanging them on the hooks at the side of the potting table.

This will help to protect it from the elements every year and allow it to serve all your potting needs long into the future.


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on Monday it was a "critical moment" in negotiations on the UN-brokered Black Sea Grain Initiative, which Washington hopes will be extended before it expires on March 18.
Russia has suggested extending the deal, which allows the safe export of grain from Ukraine's Black Sea ports, but only for a period of 60 days.
Price said the world needs the initiative, which he said allowed grain shipments to developing countries and helped bring down food prices.
"This is a critical instrument at a critical time," Price said.

Alert the media – I believe I have found a wild urban watermelon vine growing behind my house on the vacant lot that will eventually become townhouses. I know what you are thinking – given the rare nature of such a plant should they really build on this site? What if the wild urban watermelon is endangered? Should we really move forward with development and kill this prime specimen? Rally the troops – we must save this plant. As you can see in the second picture the vine is already producing fruit – not only does it exist but it is giving back. Do the wonders never cease?
We’ve named the melon Obama after our President-elect and should it make it another week or two we’ll serve it at Thanksgiving. Since our families aren’t really celebrating with us we are going to end up with a bucket of KFC so the watermelon will be a nice addition. If it makes it we’ll post pictures and a review.


LED Grow Lights for Sale
LED grow lights for sale in the US are offered in many different levels of quality and performance. Before you begin looking for LED grow lights for sale try to pick which brand of LED is best for your garden. Cheap LED grow lights are commonly made in China with Chinese parts and sold under names made to seem strong and powerful. Names are a terrible way to determine which LED grow light to buy since many are simply misleading.
LED Grow Lights for Sale – Made in the USA
If you see an LED grow light for sale with the title “made in the USA” make sure you understand that many companies will simply lie (or mislead you) about this especially those who are new without much of a reputation (fly-by-night companies).
If the LED grow light for sale is made with all 3w LEDs make sure to ask for pictures or descriptions of there heat sinks and look for wattages not to exceed 2w each. Heat sinks using these high powered 3w chips should always include tall fins to disperse heat quickly without reducing the life of the LEDs prematurely. High heat is the enemy of LEDs and causes them to die much faster than the company will lead you to believe. If heat is not a priority of the company with the LED grow light for sale then you should look elsewhere. Those who claim extremely high wattage (higher than 2w per 3w LED) being better simply leave out the fact that the high heat produced will cause the lights to fail much quicker than they should.
LED Grow Lights for Sale with High Junction Temperature = Shorter LED Life
LEDs do not fail all at once unless there is some type of driver or connection problem. LEDs that are driven too high will immediately begin to start fading and the point which they cross the 70% of original power will be much faster than sold to you.
Look for a brand such as Advanced LED that drives their LEDs at the highest power possible while still maintaining the life of the LED. Choose an LED grow light for sale that features real 3w LEDs using the most advanced secondary optics available today and at least a 90 day guarantee with no hassles.
If you want to save all that time, you can rest assured the best selling 3w LED grow lights in the USA are made by Advanced LED. Professional and hobby growers choose Advanced LED due to low cost per watt, high performance and extremely high levels of customer service. Advanced LED even offers a 24 hour warranty service guarantee and a 90 day return policy to guarantee your satisfaction for all the LED grow lights sold.

1. It’s VERY easy to grow your own food in most places on the island [a few areas are pretty dry and may be more difficult without irrigation; a few other areas/locales are a little too wet].
2. Farmer’s markets are widespread, even in the very rural areas.
3. The warm weather. Year-round, the weather in most places on the Big Island makes it fairly easy to grow many food items. In some areas, such as higher on one of the mountains, it might be harder to grow some items. The warm weather also makes it easier to eat more fruit if one is interested in being a primarily fruitarian.
4. The variety of fruits and vegetables is awesome! One can find some unusual or rare kinds of fruits that are much more difficult to get on the mainland, such as coconuts and durians [not to mention many others; see our photo gallery for additional tropical fruits].


64 acres near the river ready for your new home. 43 irrigated acres with good water rights from 47 shares of Short Ditch. Year around Cottonwood Creek through the property, big trees, close to town. Includes Hotchkiss water tap and paved access. Is already divided into two parcels. Call for details.

Front Lawn Cut Length and Domination Line - August 2021
Putting a few things in the [lawn diary] in this post: cut length + domination line. First, the cut length. Back in June, I posted about how I was using Hydretain to try to reduce watering while bringing my front yard lawn down one notch on my mower - to 4 out of 6. The past few Summers, I cut the lawn at 6/6 and while it was dark green and lush, it started to fall over a bit and was probably *too long*. I mean...the lawn looked great (2019 early August when it should be failing), but I wanted to push things a bit this year and see if I could handle the shorter cut.
I posted this image in 2019 showing how when my mower was set to 6/6, I was getting between 3.5" and 4" of grass length. Knocking two spots off the mower height setting, I'm now seeing between 2" and 2.5" of height right now. See below for the current length:


I have always hired a scarifier in the past, but thought it was time I had my own. Having bought this model, I thought it felt a bit light in weight, compared to the hired model I used to use, but my worries were soon dispelled by the great job this machine does.
It made very easy work of getting the moss and thatch out of my lawn and was a dream to use. I didn't fit the collection bag because the moss was so thick the bag would have filled in seconds, I just raked up the moss and thatch from the lawn and wheelbarrowed it away. We have quite a large lawn area and I can now look forward to having a great moss free lawn, and don't have to pay any more hire charges, or manhandle a heavy machine about. Also, my new scarifier seems very economical on fuel, it hardly used much petrol, considering how much work it did.


Our three Heliopsis 'Loraine Sunshine' plants are ~2.5 feet tall (planted this spring). After 2 heavy rains in a few days time, two of them are flattened and have not perked up on their own. Can they be gathered up and tied with string, or is there another solution? They were gorgeous, and now they are laying on the ground!
Sorry to hear about your plants. That said, the best thing you can do for them right now is nothing. Heavy rains force the plants down and the extra weight of the water gets absorbed into their leaves, which is why they may not perk up right away - the stems cannot support this weight. Once the water has been absorbed, or the sun comes out and helps to dry them, the plants will normally bounce back on their own. Trying to correct the flattened plants could actually do more harm than good. Here is more information that should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/rain-knocking-down-plants.htm
Would you be able to tell what plant this is?(See attached photo)
This would be Heliopsis, or the False Sunflower. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/ox-eye-sunflower/grow-false-sunflowers.htm


Rio Vista Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills AVA
Rio Vista is the eastern most vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation and has a warmer microclimate. Norm remembers being flattered when he received a letter of invitation to source grapes from property owners Graner and Bobbie Thorne. Subsequently, Flying Goat was one of the first wineries to release a Rio Vista designated wine in 2003.
The property was planted and is meticulously farmed by John Belfry of Buona Terra Farming. There are three different vineyards at Rio Vista and Flying Goat has sourced Pinot Noir from each. Rio Vista Vineyards North and South, located east of Santa Rosa Road, were planted in 2000. The third vineyard, located west of Santa Rose Road, was planted in 2006. Flying Goat receives clones 2A, 115, 667 and 777 from Rio Vista, offering several clonal-designate wines – clone 2A, clone 667, clone 777 and our Dijon clone blend. Most of the vineyard rows run North – South with some East – West along a west-facing hillside and unfold onto the valley floor surrounding the Thorne’s historic family headquarters. The dominate soil series present are limestone, sedimentary soils and a marine layer of sandy loam. The trellising system is vertical shoot positioning (VSP). The cover crop usually is barley, sometimes a legume and wild flowers will be used.

Most usually, this is due to not quite enough direct sun. The more sun, the more coloration you will see. Generally, the bare minimum will give you very mixed results.
Other than this, age can be the issue. There is no cure, but time, for this one.


In the Garden:
Southern California Coastal & Inland Valleys
Thin rigorously to allow fruit to have lots of space to mature and also allow air circulation.
Trees' First Spring Growth
Trees are finally part of the Spring Fling. Citrus are ripening fruit and setting blossoms, perfuming the air. Early peaches and nectarines have already set their fruit and foliage and are awaiting thinning. Mid-season-bearing ones are in full bloom, and late-season ones have yet to open a blossom. Plums and apricots have fruit, blossoms, and foliage. My Fuji apple is confused, still with its leaves, a few blossoms opening sporatically every several weeks, and some tiny apples wondering whether to develop or drop. Persimmons' tiny foliage is a delicate chartreuse, with same-color blossoms yet to come. Figs have tiny fruits for their June ripening and are also putting out new growth that'll set later fruit for August ripening.
With this first flush of growth, trees need substantial feeding for continued strong growth and good fruit production. Topdress them with compost and fertilizers high in nitrogen (fish emulsion, chicken manure, cottonseed meal, blood meal), and phosphorus (bone meal and rock phosphate). Keep composts, manures, and fertilizers away from tree trunks so the base bark can breathe.
Start thinning excess fruit set on trees and vines for better-developed remaining fruit and grapes, with less strain on the tree or vine. This is especially important for those trees bearing fruit for the first or second time. Allow a minimum spacing of five inches between peaches on opposite sides of the branch, and three inches between plums and apricots. Remove all fruit towards the end of branches so they don't bend the branch down permanently with their weight. Thin peaches before the fruit reaches almond-size for the greatest benefit in size and flavor of the remaining fruit.
Be ruthless in your thinning: the fruits are small now but the tree will need lots of energy to mature them. You don't want to stress the tree or vine to produce fruit you won't eat because there's too much ripening at one time or there are so many tiny fruits with not much flesh around their pits.
To prevent sunburn damage of exposed bark -- like on deciduous trees all winter long but through their first couple of developing years -- paint tree trunks with light-colored indoor latex paint to prevent sunburn damage. Use an inexpensive brand, or thin down an expensive one to a solution of half water and half paint. This is the one time when "cheap" is best. Although it seems counter-intuitive to use an indoor paint out of doors, it's for the health of the tree -- oil-based paints will smother the tree's air pores!

I'm in south-central Pennsylvania and I've heard of hardy varieties of pomegranates that will grow in zone 6b/7a. What are some of the hardiest varieties that folks have successfully grown and fruited in a similar climate?
According to this blog post, Salavatski is one of the most cold-hardy. I've visited the "Trees of Joy" nursery and have seen the pomegranate growing. The owner stated that the lowest temp had been -8f. The tree is located against a wall so I'm sure that helps protect it somewhat in the winter.
A list of cold-hardy varieties that I found through web searches are:
- Kazakhe (also referred to as Kazake)
- Entekhabi Saveh (reported the most cold-hardy)
Reference: Zone 6 pomegranates post
Let me first state, I do not have any varieties I can recommend for your particular requirements. Sorry.
But please allow me to try and point you in a (local) direction where I believe you can acquire the exact information you're after:
- Find Your County Office - Penn State Cooperative Extension
- Penn State Cooperative Extension
- Contact - Penn State Cooperative Extension
Also "Penn State Cooperative Extension" (via their web site) say they are very active on:
- twitter: @agsciences
- facebook: College of Agricultural Sciences, Penn State University
Therefore if you use either of those services you might try reaching out to them via one of them.
You may also want to read, "Pomegranate - A Backyard Favorite" from Agricultural Research magazine (Last Modified: 02/18/2005) as it contains some contact information you might be able to use.
Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful (given you a variety or two to look into), but I do hope the above does prove at least somewhat useful in enabling you to get the information you require.
Ok! so I asked Penn State Cooperative Extension "@agsciences" on twitter, "Are there any pomegranate varieties you can recommend for the state of PA (Hardiness Zone 6b-7a)?"
My follow up question to the above reply, "I'm guessing if you grew in (large) pots & brought in for the winter you might be lucky, have some success?"
@agsciences reply: *might* sounds right. Pomegranate can grow to 18ft (5.5m). Even with root trimming fruit production could be low. Let us know! if you try this and what kind of success or not you achieve.


The Australian Banana Growers’ Council has raised concerns over a delay in allowing cyclone-affected farmers access to grants of up to $75,000.
The grants were announced by the Federal and State Governments on April 30 in the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Niran. Two months on, the application process has yet to open.
Read the Queensland Country Life story here.
Jim Pekin, CEO of the Australian Banana Growers’ Council, said more than 100 banana farms were damaged in the March 1 cyclonic winds
“Among these are farm businesses on the Cassowary Coast that are literally banking on these grants for their cash flow,” Mr Pekin said.
The ABGC welcomed the Queensland Government announcement to increase grants from $25,000 to $75,000 on April 30, believing it acknowledged the severity of the event and its impact on many growers.
“But it is incredible that the required regulation has not passed, which has meant that those who were counting on these funds are still waiting,” Mr Pekin said.
“All we’re asking is for the State Government to follow through on its announcement so growers relying on these funds can get on with the task of rebuilding.”
The Extraordinary Disaster Assistance Grants were to be provided through Category D of the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

Green Earth Growers of Prior Lake donated dozens of flats of tomatoes, flowers, peppers, and lettuce which need to be planted tomorrow. They will be donating more for planting on Sunday.
Please know are always welcome to show up and dig in the dirt at the garden sites listed at http://projectsweetiepie.org
Urban gardening opportunities this weekend include:
1 Plymouth Green Team: At 12:00 Noon at Humboldt and Plymouth behind the Legacy Townhouses. Nardal Stroud is out of town so Michael Chaney will lead this brigade. We will meet to till, plant and weed. Contact Michael Chaney at 612 534-6403–remember–he has one of the only pagers left in this century. When you hear the tone, put in your phone number and he will get back to you.
2. South Minneapolis 4000 4th Ave S at 11:00: More than 40 volunteers from Wells Fargo, 15 youth from the Arboretum and others are meeting to put in raised beds at 8 gardens–mostly in South Minneapolis at the “Church of God” garden near St. Joan of Arc, Church of God and St. Paul AME. All churches are coming together for this garden. The garden site manager is Bill Greene at 612 803 4230 These volunteers and students are being organized by LaDonna Redman and she is waiting for the garden “map” that will tell her when the volunteers are going to be at which site. Volunteers will start at another site at 9:30 am, will be here and then will move on to other gardens this weekend. Thank you volunteers! This group helped with 10 sites last Saturday–they will be working on 8 sites. Here is a photo of their work at 3648 Fremont Ave N. If you can’t find this group, call Michael Chaney on his pager at 612 534-6403.
3. The garden at 8th and Humboldt is coming along nicely thanks to the efforts of the Seed Academy students. They cut stakes for tomatoes, planted sunflowers in class and have been out to the garden planting peppers, beans and lettuce. The garden is about 1/2 planted, so volunteers will be needed for a few weeks. If you show and no one is there, you can simply start or call Michael Chaney on his pager at 612-534-6403.
4. The garden at 1422 Oliver should be seeing some activity between 8:00am-12:00pm tomorrow morning with Ezra Jackman, Robert Chaney and some of the last year’s youth troubadours all pitching in. Send us your photos!
5. If you can’t get out this weekend, put Tuesday night on your calendar Folks at the Camden Gardens at 3648 Fremont and 3653 Emerson Ave N are expecting a load of seedlings that need to go in–they probably won’t all get planted this weekend.
6. If you want to see a super garden drive by the 2030 Sheriden Ave N garden and let Jim Desnick know how impressed you are.
More news tomorrow morning at 4:00am. (People were waiting till the last minute to make plans, but it looks like we might finally have a great weekend!)

Branston is redirecting produce that would otherwise be wasted due to the shutdown of restaurants
Any “cosmetically challenged” spuds will be sold in a ‘Perfectly Imperfect’ bag
Tesco said it had seen an average 20% rise in demand for potatoes across its stores
Tesco is to sell potatoes originally destined for foodservice at a lower price point than standard spuds during the coronavirus crisis.
The supermarket has teamed up with potato supplier Branston, which is working with its grower base to redirect to the retailer produce that would otherwise be wasted due to the shutdown of restaurants and fast-casual eating outlets.
Some of the rehomed potatoes will be included in Tesco’s existing white and baking potato 2.5kg packs, while “cosmetically challenged” spuds will be in a ‘Perfectly Imperfect’ bag (rsp: £1/2.5kg) – some 29p cheaper than the packs of regular white potatoes - and will become available in the next two weeks.
All three SKUs will carry a sticker stating ”I’m not looking my normal gorgeous self but I still taste great, buy me and support British farmers”.
“Taking these surplus potatoes not only helps meet the extra demand at the moment but also supports growers at a time when many are facing a real struggle to keep their businesses going,” said Tesco potato buying manager Ben Rowbotham.
The varieties were mainly used for making chips, he added. “So, while they might not look as cosmetically perfect as others, they will still be delicious and excellent for pan frying, sautéing, making potato wedges and other dishes.”
Tesco said it had seen an average 20% rise in demand for potatoes across its stores since the coronavirus crisis began in March.
It comes as Branston’s parent company Branstons Holdings’ saw sales jump by 14% to £152.5m during the year to 28 July 2019, despite volumes falling 9%, according to its latest accounts.
Higher raw material costs following a challenging 2018 growing season caused by the Beast from the East were passed onto consumers, which saw pre-tax profits remain broadly flat at £4.7m.

African Marigold ‘Cheerleader’ (Floranova)


Hi, new here!
can you advise on how you did this?
I’m in a rental so I can’t make a permanent structure but I really need the shade so any help is greatly appreciated
It looks like you might have missed @Grub80's replies which give a lot of detail about how this project was made. Have a good read of all the posts and then let us know if you have any questions. I'm sure community members will be more than happy to assist. There's also off-the-shelf alternatives like the VegePod that you could consider.
Welcome to the Workshop community. We're rapt you could join us and look forward to seeing your own projects and reading about further plans for your house and garden.
It's a great concept isn't it? It can be a shade house, net house, a green house, or, as I have recently done, a shelter house for things whilst I reorganise my sheds. Whether permanent, or temporary as in my case, it is a cost effective solution to many problems.
Hi all, I’d thought to share the home made shade hoop house, in its 2nd year of operating, and learnings and any adaptions to the structure.
over winter this year, we removed the shade hoop cover and stored away for this years summer ahead. During winter I used crop protection nets for my brassicas.
grew great crop of cauliflower, broccoli and cabbages with no insect issues and no chemical sprays either!
Pulled the crop protection cover off and reinstalled the shade cloth cover, and using the same bungees brought last year, the shade hoop is all in place ready to go.
the only additions to the original structure is end uprights bolted to the raised beds and then using saddle clips attach the outer hoops for added strength. So not too many changes and generally a great way for growing in any space garden.
Our second hoop house is an upmarket version from the first.
All the timber and supports purchased from Bunnings (of Course!)
I decided that rather than watering a small piece of lawn, we would grow vegies instead.
We started the project a few months ago. learning from our home made hoop house, the new hoop house is located in a windier part of the garden, hence the stronger frame, which was purchased online.
The full cover, I will use during the winter. and we have made another shade cover for the summer. I've just started growing the plants, so will keep you updated of our hopeful success, cheers
Wow, the hoop houses look amazing. I might try this when i replace my one (i used cheap arches) but they are on the way out now due to rusting of the thin metal.
Thanks @Dirtbug this new hoophouse is all what I wanted. My Dad has now installed all the irrigation, so I can just snap a hose on and water the beds without having to even go inside 👍. I’ve now planted all brassicas, and installed a crop protection net in the door frame, to keep out the pesky moths, so I can leave the door rolled up, so it doesn’t get too hot. The daytime temp is around 25 with doors and windows open on the plastic. Night time temps, not really sure, but wont suffer frosts 🤞. Good luck with your gardening cheers, Leanne
Thanks for joining in the discussion @Dirtbug. Please let us know if you build your own - we'd love to see it.
Welcome to the Workshop community. We're really pleased you could join us and look forward to reading more about all your projects and plans for around the house and garden. Don't hesitate to post anytime you need a hand with anything.

Five reasons why gene editing is good for the UK
Gene editing isn’t just about medicine. The potential benefits of adopting gene editing techniques in crop research are huge and varied, for the environment, consumer health and the economy. Here are five reasons why gene editing is good for the UK.


My guess is that I’m dealing with a magnesium deficiency, but I’m not sure. Of my 3 Bergman Gold Leaf plants two of them are showing similarities. One is significantly worse than the other. This is day 35 from seed. I am using distilled water and am adding 5mg of CalMag to my other nutrients when feeding (2 times per week). Water is PH 6.5
Whats the PH and PPM of the run off @cully ?
Water and feedings have been PH6.2-6.5
I don’t usually have run off as I tend to water on the lower end in order to avoid over watering. Soil is PH 6.5-7.0
PPM about 200
You really need to check PH in and out,especially if you are having a few problems same for the PPM just so you know your plant is getting what you give it, what foliar spray did you use? At your stage of veg i water to runoff and check everything PH and PPM going in same coming out.
I will water to a point of run off now and check both ppm & ph.
I used my feeding mix of nutrients as a foliar spray.
Just watered with PH 6.5
Run off is PH 4.7 and 1,045 ppm
Are you sure of your pH meter? PH 4.7?
That’s REALLY low!!!
Fairly sure of the meter. I ran the same test on a second plant showing similar but less dramatic symptoms and the results were as follows PH 5.1 PPM 800

Last week, Peruvian fresh banana exports finally ended the six-week streak in which shipments were lower than in the previous season. “In week 11, Peru exported 5,467 tons of bananas, i.e. 34% more than in the same week of last year,” Fresh Fruit reported. "Despite this small recovery, accumulated exports in the current campaign amounted to 50,120 tons and were 2% lower than in the same period of the previous campaign."
In this last week, the main destinations were the Netherlands (30% share), Chile (23%), and Panama (15%). Compared to the previous week, the Netherlands tripled its imports, purchasing 1,641 tons. Chile increased its imports by 29%, totaling 1,276 tons. Panama increased its purchases by 15% importing a total of 798 tons.
Last week, exports were led by the Sabrostar Fruit Company S.A., with an 18% share (1,000 tons); followed by Pronatur S.A.C., with a 13% share (694 tons); and Cooperativa Agraria Appbosa, with a 7% share (380 tons).

have no clue but it is in bloom! what do you do with the pollen ? can you self cross it??
08-21-2005, 03:54 PM
It might be too late now, but do you have any other Tillandsias to cross it with? I've had Tillandsias set seed, but I've never seen that seed germinate.
08-25-2005, 10:15 AM
Tillandsia seed itself is atmospheric. The way that most Tillandsia "farms" germinate and grow from seed when not just propagating by offsets is generally done by placing any viable seed on a screen or mesh material. This provides adequate airflow which is necessary, and I do believe misting here and there along with some sort of humidity is also needed.
I've had a few seed germinate believe it or not, surprisingly in the bottom of a saucer that one of my cp's was in. Not hard, just slow.

Bumblebees are furry, round insects that live mostly in temperate climates in the Northern Hemisphere. There are more than 250 species of bumblebees, belonging to the genus Bombus (honeybees belong to the genus Apis.) The largest bumblebee species, Bombus dahlbomii, can grow to be an inch and a half in length. Bumblebees are distinctive for their fuzzy, pile-covered bodies and bold colors, which helps them ward off predators. Unlike honeybees, they don’t make honey, as they don’t need to store food for winter—they typically live a year, at most.
Bumblebees are among the most important pollinators. They excel at spreading pollen and fertilizing many types of wild plants, as well as important agricultural crops like tomatoes, blueberries, and squash. They can

Be on the lookout for a great new caladium variety from the University of Florida - 'Cranberry Star'. This new variety is ideal for use as a potted plant or accent or border plant in shady landscapes 'Cranberry Star' has bright white leaves with green veins, similar to the leaves of 'Candidum'. But, it also has numerous bright purple spots on its leaves. I think it's very pretty.
'Cranberry Star' is not available yet, but keep checking with your local nurseries and caladium suppliers. I look forward to trying it soon!

The hallmark of the CLAAS LINER family of rakes is a uniform, clean swath with working precision and intelligent tine control. And there's no doubt that the introduction of the new LINER 750 and LINER 1750 dual rotor side discharge rakes bring a new level of selection for producers without compromising the features you expect from CLAAS – clean raking, even swaths, reliability and low maintenance costs.
Bob Armstrong, North American Product Marketing Manager, explained, "Quality, consistency and reducing time in the field is what every producer looks for and it's what they can expect from CLAAS products. More specifically, the addition of the LINER 750 and 1750 expands the available working widths of the CLAAS side discharge rakes, giving producers more choice and flexibility.”
Armstrong concluded, "The LINER series offers heavy duty gearboxes with minimal grease points giving producers optimal efficiency. And efficiency in the field is paramount no matter how small or large the operation. What's important is that you have a machine that fits your situation and provides you with peace of mind and superior crop.”
The LINER 750 twin rotor design allows for single or twin windrows with a 24' clearing width and 25' 7” working width. The LINER 750 is equipped with 12 removable tine arms with 4 double tines per arm, per rotor. The removable tine arms are ideal for narrow transport and storage. In addition, the 3-D rotor suspension makes covering each contour of the field simple with a free-moving rotor frame, operating completely independent of the main frame. Precise ground contour allows you to work in tough field conditions while maintaining a clean swath and minimizing ash (foreign material).
Increasing the working width to 26' 3”, the LINER 1750 twin rotor design allows for one single windrow. With 14 tine arms with 4 double tines per arm, per rotor, the LINER 1750 increases working output. Similar to the design of the LINER 2900 introduced in late 2007, the 3-D contour rotor articulation offers the ability to swath quickly, while at the same time maintaining high forage quality. The 2-point inverted U-frame gives maximum clearance of the single wide-angle universal drive shaft. With telescopic tine arms controlled from the cab, shrinking the rake down for transport is made easy.
CLAAS of America, Inc., offers a wide variety of technologically innovative hay tool, baler, self-propelled forage harvester and combine harvester products to provide growers optimum performance in the field. These products are designed by a dedicated engineering staff located at three different worldwide factories focused on the production and design of harvesting equipment. The design, performance and reliability of this
equipment have made CLAAS an international market leader. For more information, visit

Monterey almond tree is a variety of almond tree known for its high yield and high-quality nuts. Tree produces white or pink flowers in the spring. The nuts of the Monterey almond tree are large, sweet and meaty, making them a popular choice for both eating and baking. The tree is well adapted to the warm, dry climates of California and other western regions of the US. Monterey is a good pollinating companion with Nonpareil. Harvest is late for this heavy bearing variety. Requires a pollinizer. Low chill (250 hours).
Pollination Requirement: requires another almond variety
Origin Date:1945 and beyond
Storage:3 Months or More
Years to Bear:1-3 years
Recommended Spacing: 12 ft.
Mature Size:12-15 ft.
Pruning:Summer prune to maintain 8 ft.
Water Requirements:12-15 gallons per week May through Sept.
Size of tree
Our trees range in height from 4-8 ft. in our field and trimmed to 4 to 5 ft. when shipped. Our young two year trees are most often feathered (side limbs). The trees diameter (caliper) is often 1/2 to 3/4 inch; *As noted by University of California Scientists and other qualified professionals the most successful trees often have caliper from 1/2" to 5/8" and usually establish faster than smaller and larger planting stock. .
Basic idea for Pruning: Most fruit trees should be pruned in frost-free periods mid to late winter. (apricots best after bud break) Remove most vertical branches and shorten side branches. Fruiting wood is best on horizontal to 45 degree limbs. Learn more...
Shipping Note: Our fruit trees and berries are delivered to you bareroot during their winter dormancy from January through May depending on USDA zone. Trees are shipped with your invoice and helpful planting directions. There is no minimum quantity required but shipping rate for an individual tree is expensive since UPS/Fed Ex charge a dimensional weight and an additional handling fee to ship a tree. You'll find it's cost effective to consider a handful of trees,vines or our helpful Tree Starter Kits.

What does this mean for me?
Going forward, Farm At Hand will begin to work more closely with the other solutions in TELUS Agriculture. We will be playing a key role in helping to define the offering and approach going forward, and will keep you informed of all changes along the way.
What won’t change?
What won’t change is our commitment to data transparency and privacy, where farmers own their information and are empowered to choose who they share it with.
TELUS purchased Farm At Hand because they also believe in simplifying complicated tools to make farm management easier and more profitable for farmers.

Zorn, Alexander and Renner, Heike (2008) Organic operators’ satisfaction with their certification body – a survey in Germany. Poster at: Cultivating the Future Based on Science: 2nd Conference of the International Society of Organic Agriculture Research ISOFAR, Modena, Italy, June 18-20, 2008.
RTF (Rich Text Format)
Organic certification represents different functions for the stakeholders involved in this process. For a producer of organic food, it is mainly a service provided by a certification body. Hardly any information currently exists on organic operators’ satisfaction with this service. In a survey of German organic processors, we examine the satisfaction and other questions connected to the relationship certification body – client and offer insights for certification bodies and organic associations.
