How to use

Hold the cultivator in one hand and position the claw head near the soil surface around the plant or area to be treated. Gently push the claws into the soil and pull or twist to loosen compacted layers and to break the crusted surface. For weeding, use the claws to dislodge small shallow-rooted weeds from the soil, taking care to avoid disturbing larger root systems. After aeration or weeding, smooth the surface with the cultivator or a hand rake and, if needed, water the area to help settle soil and promote root contact with moisture.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool on moist but not waterlogged soil for best results: slightly damp soil allows the claws to penetrate easily and reduces the risk of pulling plants out by their roots. Avoid using the cultivator on very hard, dry ground or for heavy-duty digging. Regular light cultivation around plants promotes aeration and supports healthy root growth.
