Please check out my new garden tool innvention on Youtube 'Easyvator
Rotavator Cultivator - YouTube' ('Easyvator Rotavator Cultivator -
YouTube' (http://tinyurl.com/8n8gcnv)) It won
three gold medals for consumer invention of the year at the world
invention awards in London. You can also see it on my website at
'Home - easyvator.net' ('Home - easyvator.net'
(http://www.easyvator.net))-
In the list of benefits you forgot:
- Destroys soil structure, makes it "like apple crumble" (why?)
- Munches earthworms (exterminate exterminate)
- So light it cannot deal with heavy soil, any soil where it works
can be
hand dug.
- No chance of digging into utilities as it cannot dig deeper than
25cm
- Free xray when you rotavate your power cord
- What happens to the motor/gearbox when the blade stops in heavy
soil or
on a tree root? Does it burn out? Does it give the operator a free
chiropractic back adjustment?
And the Grand Prize for Thick:
On ground level beds it is so short that it must be operated stooped
unless
you are a child. And it is claimed to be suitable for people with
bad backs! The demonstrator groans and holds his back using a spade
but smiles
and chatters when using this tool. You are disconnected from
reality.

Thanks for your comments. The model viewed is the very first
prototype. The model going to the shops is longer and adjustable.
Excellent!
How
do you know if the Easyvator has a slip clutch or not.
I don't know at all. I asked a question. Instead of trying for debating
points why not just answer it. What happens when the blade jams? What
effect does that have on the operator or the longevity of the machine?
Thick maybe- you're the one who insists on caveman's tools
So I shouldn't criticise obvious flaws in the design that you are
advertising *now* on the basis that those flaws *might* be addressed in
future models. I wonder if you really want real feedback or a pat on the
head.
I notice that you say nothing about the other limitations of the system. It
might be honest for you to declare upfront that such a lightweight system
has no possible future in demanding conditions or you can keep allowing the
inexperienced to assume that it might.
