Tilther
Instruction Manual
The Tilther is a versatile, lightweight tool conceptualized
by Eliot Coleman for preparing the top two inches of soil
to create a perfect tilth for both direct-seeded and
transplanted crops. The curved, steel tines are powered
by a standard cordless drill to efficiently break up soil
clods, chopping up residues from previously planted
crops, and incorporating compost and other soil
amendments before planting. The Tilther is 15 inches
wide which makes it a great choice for a 30-inch-wide
bed system. The Tilther is not designed for initial tilling of
native ground or areas with substantial crop residue.
