Editorial Review
The Garden Claw Gold cultivator is designed to break up hard-packed soil, aerating your lawn and garden. Aeration can greatly increase irrigation efficiency, enabling you to get the most out of your watering. Made of electro-coated steel, the cultivator boasts a patented claw head with six angled tines designed to break up and crumble soil. The product lives up to its name, featuring sparkly vinyl grips on the curved handlebars and glittering gold paint on the claw head. Useful not just for aerating, the Claw can also uproot weeds, blend fertilizers, and even mix compost. It only took us a few minutes to assemble, and there are four adjustable height settings. ...

Handles are on backwards!
We bought the Garden Claw several years ago at our first house and never used it, because the handles are mounted for lefties.That is, the two hand-grips are each curved to the side, giving a feel of turning a wheel when you use it.This would be great if you put your hands on the grips and turned it to the right to dig.But the tines on this gadget are positioned so that you have to "steer" the Claw to the left to get them to dig.Since us righties have more strength in our right hands, it was very awkward to "steer" the Claw to the left.We spent about 20 minutes with it in the garden that day and haven't used it since.
Being able to do it myself: Priceless!
I planned to use the Garden Claw for stand-up cultivation of my raised beds, and it will be great for that; it's perfect for SFG-style beds.
But this is the best part: I've discovered it's perfect for helping me dig post holes for my grape and kiwi trellises. I'm a 4'10" disabled woman with bad knees and a bad back. I just don't have the upper body strength to ram a post-hole digger into the clay soil in our fescue-matted field, and the two big, strong men in my household always have something more pressing to do.
I discovered the Garden Claw makes a circular hole that's just a tad wider than the post-hole digger does, and I can loosen six or more inches of clay soil and roots in no time. Without strain! Then I can use the post-hole digger to lift out the loosened soil, or I can just spade it out into a bucket for use somewhere else. As weak as I am, I can get two 2-foot holes dug before I have to rest.
I've been frustrated because I've been too broke to pay someone to come put these trellises in and worried because I know the vines will be here before I know it. Thanks to the Garden Claw, I can put in my trellises all by myself! It paid for itself the very first day. So far, I'm delighted with it.
Great Gadget for Small Areas
I bought this gadget after seeing the commercial. It has become my favorite outdoor tool. Living in a brownstone I have very little earth to tend. So for my purposes, it's better than a garden fork, etc. It's surprisingly well made and the design makes it effortless to use.
