The is my favorite garden tool. It's great for picking up a huge whack of blackberry canes and small bushes, just by stabbing it into the pile and then flipping it upside down to carry it to a burn pile or whatever.
I don't even know what it was originally but I'm guessing a hay rake.
But another great use for it is after i have tilled and made my seed beds, I comb them repeatedly before planting and it keeps bringing up couchgrass root bits and root balls and other things that you don't want sprouting later. So it saves a lot of weeding later which usually disturbs vegetable seedlings.
My tractor question. . .
It seems to me I've seen a kind of cultivator that combs the soil as well, with tynes and coil springs. Is there such an animal and what is it called?
Thanks,

I like using steel tubing for handles and I put a hardwood grip at the other end.
