Video - Summer Garden Maintenance - Breaking Up Hard Soil

Mid-way through the summer, garden soils can become hard, dry, and compacted. This short video demonstrates a really cool little hand tool that you can use to break up the soil and help water penetrate into the soil. Don't get too close to the existing plants, but this is a nice way to break soil up in in-between areas where you want to plant new seeds or plants, and will help water and fertilizer get to the roots of existing plants as well.

Much less expensive, and handier to use than a motorized tiller, this type of hand tiller is a really handy garden tool to keep on hand!
