Mantis makes it easy to create a bountiful garden, and a beautiful yard!  Whether you’re breaking new ground for a first-time garden, or getting an existing garden ready for planting, the Mantis Tiller will make it easy and fun!

Those hot summer months are here!!


July:

Keep those plants watered on a regular basis during these hot months! Especially new ones! Apply water directly to the soil and roots, avoiding the leaves if possible. Be sure to check the soil moisture often, as some plants may require more than one drink a day. Just remember... it's best to water in the early mornings, but about an hour after sunset is also alright.
Liven up your summer landscape with colorful hanging baskets or potted plants.
Get lettuce, broccoli, and beets started and ready for the fall season.

August:

Continue watering the plants! Thoroughly soak the soil to avoid the drying out of your plants.
Trim your lawn regularly. Remove only about 1/3 of the blade to ensure you are not doing more damage than good. By doing so, you cause less stress on the blades and leave them less dried out.
Enjoy your gardens fresh harvest!

September:

September is the prefect time for aerating and/or dethatching your lawn. Try the Aerator/Dethatcher Combo attachment for your Mantis Tiller.
Plant trees, shrubs, and most importantly, start seeding or overseeding your lawn for a thick, more healthier lawn next year.
Add fall colors to your landscape by planting an assortment of Mums.

Featured Tiller Attachment

Aerator / Dethatcher Combination

The aerator attachment cuts into the soil under your lawn with four sets of tempered steel "knives", to permit easy absorption of water, oxygen and nutrients. Perfect to use in compact, clay soil. Aerate before overseeding or spot seeding your lawn.

The dethatcher attachment quickly removes weeds and the tan-looking build-up, "thatch", which can choke your lawn. The 60 spring-steel picks let you dethatch a 15" swath with a single path.

The aerator/dethatcher combo attachment includes a FREE lawn care booklet with your purchase!


Benefits of Aerating

Aerating can help make your lawn healthier and reduce its maintenance requirements through these means:

Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere
Enhanced soil water uptake
Improved fertilizer uptake and use
Reduced water runoff and puddling
Stronger turfgrass roots
Reduced soil compaction
Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance
Improved resiliency and cushioning
Enhanced thatch breakdown
