ABSTRACT:
A hand cultivating system for loosening or tilling select portions of the soil in a garden or plot. The preferred embodiment of the present invention contemplates a hand cultivating implement wherein there is provided a longitudinal handle member having first and second ends, the first end having affixed thereto a tined cultivator member including a plurality of tines in general longitudinal alignment with the handle member. Also affixed to the handle member, connected to the handle member in a position in the medial or upper medial area of the handle, disposed generally toward the second end of the handle, is a laterally emanating torque handle, configured to allow the user to partially rotate the handle and tined cultivator member about their longitudinal axis. The present invention as configured is particularly suitable for use in conjunction with gardens and landscape plots, for loosening or turning the soil and removing weeds, while leaving ground cover, such as bark, peat moss, or mulch, relatively intact. An alternative embodiment of the present invention contemplates alternative, interchangeable cultivator members suitable for a variety of tasks, while the preferred embodiment contemplates a single, multi-purpose cultivator member.
