I'm thinking of buying a Mantis Tiller to make gardening a little easier,
has anyone got one of these? I would be very grateful for any comments good
or bad, that you could pass on to me.

Thanks in anticipation.

Ruth,

There was a thread a while back that discussed them. It may have even
been the "2 strokes" one, I don't recall.

Some people like 'em, some don't. I personally do. I wouldn't want to
do a large garden with one though. If taken care and stored (for
winter if you're in that kind of area) properly they work fine and
they dig like crazy. You do have to hold on to 'em though as they can
try to bounce if they strike a good sized root or something. You also
pull them for digging rather than go foward.

I've had mine for about 5 years and still like it. If you have more
questions about one, post away. I'm sure you'll get opposing views as
well. ;-)
