lidl's gardening tools

Good Morning!

I have been thinking about buying the rotavator that Lidl have in store today, and wondered if anyone had one, and could reccommend it .

If you only have a small area to do i don't suppose it would be too bad for the price

I have something very similar

I would go so far as to say its the same thing.

I has good and bad points.  I used it over an area of about 4x4 metres, full of stones, clay, roots ect.  It took a few days, and didnt go really deep, but it took out a lot of stones, or at least revealed them, and created a good top inch.
I then left it, the weeds didnt grow back, but grass did.

Its prone to getting small fist sized stones stuck between the motor and the blades, and with no reverse getting them out requites and hammer, some luck, and some choice language.

As long as you run it across the surface, its fine, but once you try and do a few inches, it just digs itself in and wont move.
Hope that helps.
