Hand rakes and cultivators

Our Hand rakes and cultivators collection is for those lighter soil jobs where a full size rake is too much. These tools help you loosen the top layer of soil, mix in compost or feed and tidy around plants in beds, raised beds and containers without disturbing roots too deeply.

Use this collection if you are asking things like
What tool should I use to refresh the surface of my soil
How do I mix compost or feed into pots and beds
What can I use to tidy gravel, bark and smaller areas

In this collection you can find

• Hand rakes for smoothing and tidying the soil surface, raking off small stones and levelling seed beds

• Claw style cultivators for breaking up crusted soil and working in compost, manure or slow release feed

• Narrow cultivators for tighter spaces and rows on veg beds and allotments

• Mid handled tools that give extra reach into raised beds and the back of borders

Hand rakes and cultivators are ideal for quick passes over the soil before sowing, refreshing tired containers, loosening compacted areas after heavy rain and keeping mulches and gravel looking neat. They are also very useful for gently working around established plants where you do not want to dig deeply.

At Allotmate Essentials we choose hand rakes and cultivators that feel comfortable to use, have strong tines and make light work of real garden soil. Add one or two from this collection to your core tool set and you will find it much easier to keep beds, pots and paths looking cared for with just a few passes.
