Last year I was enquiring about a cultivator for our garden which was
heavy clay. Now we have a garden that is sandy in places and nice
friable earth in other places. (It's in the Auvergne). If you have
soil like this, and you were buying a cultivator, which one would you
consider best for that type of soil. This is for the vegetable garden
only which is approx 100 metres sq. Many thanks.


Personally I'd go for a Honda, they have a complete range, not cheap but you
get what you pay for, spares are easily available, and they go on for ever.

Years ago, my step-father bought a côtil in Jersey to demonstrate the
abilities of winch ploughs attached to tractors. I wonder if Judith could
host a rotovator week end? ;-))) There might be a bottle of Calva as the
prize for the first to complete 20 yards.
