(Pocket-lint) – Gardening is supposed to be relaxing work, but working your soil manually in order to reap the benefits is anything but. This is where garden tillers come in.

They are designed to prepare the soil for cultivation by churning the soil, with some of the more powerful versions able to take on the hard ground, too. This no doubt helps save a ton of time over manual tools and methods.

These gardening tillers are all-electric, naturally, and vary quite a bit in their power output. Some are corded, while others are battery-powered. The cordless options are great for areas where a power outlet is hard to reach, of course, while the corded counterparts usually offer greater power. 

To help take the hard work out of finding the right garden tiller for your home, we’ve tested some of the top options for you to consider. Let’s help shape your garden.
