cultivator
Garden soil tool
A cultivator is a tool or machine for breaking up soil and removing weeds, used in farming and gardening.
Hand cultivators have pronged heads for working between plants.
Tractor-pulled cultivators prepare fields for planting.
By extension, a cultivator is someone who develops or nurtures something: a cultivator of talent, a cultivator of fine wines.
