rototillers

Motorized garden tillers

Rototillers are motorized gardening machines with rotating blades that break up and aerate soil, preparing it for planting.

The blades—called tines—churn through compacted earth more efficiently than manual digging: We rented a rototiller to prepare the vegetable garden.

Also called tillers or cultivators.
