There is a lot of work in the city and in the garden, but the most exhausting processes are the digging of root crops, removing weed roots and cultivating the land. They begin to dig, as a rule, a little in advance due to the large physical load. It is possible to significantly reduce complexity and dig up a garden faster by purchasing a universal excavator - a wonderful shovel for digging the earth. This simple and inexpensive device is very effective. The process of loosening and breaking up clods of soil is accelerated even on complex soils.

What is a wonderful shovel for digging the earth

A shovel for the lazy (as the described device is often called) is a kind of cultivator, because she not only digs, but also breaks lumps. This tool does not have a spade as such, but the differences from the classic bayonet version do not end there. Her handle is much higher - she should ideally reach to the shoulder. Digging the surface of the earth with this tool is an order of magnitude easier than using a classic cultivator. Super shovel for digging the garden performs the following operations:

  • soil loosening;
  • breaking clods;
  • "Getting" the roots of weeds with minimal damage;
  • digging potatoes, carrots and other root crops.

Device

If you are interested in a self-digging shovel, first get acquainted with its structure and principle of operation, otherwise a purchase made may not suit you. A miracle shovel for digging and loosening earth layers consists of one or two strips with pins that are movably connected to each other. Some models have a back gauge in the design, which simplifies digging of dense and heavy soil, reducing the load on the lower back. In addition, the design is equipped with forks and a linkage.

How does it work

Miracle digging noticeably facilitates work in the garden or on a suburban area, with the main load not on the back, but on the legs (when pushing the forks into the ground) and hands (when the forks are turned out of the ground). The back during work is almost not loaded, especially since it is in an upright position. The effort to plow a few hundred parts of the site (whether it is chernozem or another type of soil) will require less than when using a bayonet shovel. The procedure is as follows:

  1. Grasp the handle, put the miracle shovel, resting it on the front cultivator.
  2. Next, bend the forks into the ground so that the rear stop touches the ground. If necessary, press with your foot on the crossbar of the front forks, as the soil may be heavy, dense.
  3. Pull the handle of the hand cultivator towards you. With this action, the forks rise, pass through the forks of the front stop and break all the clods of earth.
  4. Pull the device a little back, and then repeat all the steps from the beginning.

How to choose a wonderful shovel for digging earth

Decide on the design. If you are looking for a less cumbersome option, then give preference to a model without a front stop. True, its presence increases stability during operation. Pay attention to the width of the working part. The best option is considered to be 45-60 cm - you should not choose more, because this will complicate the digging process and productivity will drop. The length of the working pins should be 220-300 mm, and the distance between them should be 70-80 mm. Before buying, make sure that all structural elements are durable and their connections are reliable.

Working in the garden is sometimes very debilitating. At the same time, it is carried out in parts, which is explained by colossal physical activity. A miracle shovel will help reduce the labor costs of the gardener. Being a simple device, it accelerates the workflow and can be used on soils of varying complexity. The material of this article will tell about what kind of adaptation this is, what are its advantages and disadvantages, and also what are the main nuances of working with such a shovel.

What it is?

A miracle shovel is a simple device for cultivating the soil, which differs from the usual tool externally. In fact, this is a kind of ripper or shovel with a handle, a rake and a frame for loosening, which, depending on the model, may resemble the frame of a sled. It is equipped with sharp teeth, due to which high-quality tillage is carried out. This is a tool with which they dig up the earth, breaking clods of even heavy soil.

Design

A shovel, which is often called a tool for the lazy, does not have the usual metal element for digging. Structurally, it is characterized by a longer handle, because, according to the manufacturing technology, it should reach the user's shoulder. Depending on the variety, the product may have one or two strips with pins movably connected to each other.

The key details of the product are forks for digging, the second for loosening, front emphasis, handle, and also fastenings. Other modifications include the presence of a back stop, through which digging of dense and heavy soil is simplified, thereby reducing the load on the lower back of the operator. In addition to the forks, the design of the device is equipped with a lever mechanism.

In fact, the main part of the super shovel is the traditional pitchfork, to which the stalk is attached. The back stop mechanism is mounted on the sides. The second forks, located in front, are connected by a lock with the main ones. It is they who are responsible for breaking up land clods, which is especially important in working with trampled or clay soil.

Due to the mechanism of leverage, loosening the earth will not need a lot of hand effort. This is especially true for elderly gardeners and summer residents who have diseases of the musculoskeletal system (including spinal diseases). Forks are oncoming products, some of them, when passing through others, perform loosening of the soil without turning it over. At the same time, the depth of plowing can be different. Its minimum indicator is 15 cm.

As for the width of the processed strip, it is approximately 50 cm.  This is, in fact, almost a bed. The front spade stop is attached to the cultivator. It determines the stability of the tool, making it look like a kind of scissors, cutting and crushing clods of earth into small pieces, which can later be trimmed using the most common garden rakes. At first glance, it seems that such a tool is difficult to work, but practice proves the opposite.

Advantages and disadvantages

Despite some bulk, a miracle shovel is more convenient to work than analogs of the classical type. It is easy to operate, practically digs itself and impresses with its performance, greatly facilitating the user's work. The process of cultivating the soil is carried out with it faster and easier, which summer residents have already noted. Of course, a mechanical cultivator or walk-behind tractor cannot be replaced by a miracle shovel, but it is several times more productive than a traditional bayonet variety. This is explained not only by the design features, but also by the width of the channel.

On average, using such a shovel, you can dig up a site 2 times faster than an ordinary one.This tool is reliable, multitasking, it is durable. This is a device for arable work, which can be used for sowing and loosening the soil. Moreover, it can till the soil to a depth of 25 cm, which is good for the cultivation of potatoes. As well as a miraculous shovel, you can prepare the land for planting corn and cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant and other crops grown on the site.

However, with a number of obvious advantages, the super shovel also has disadvantages. For example, it is completely unsuitable for gardening. She can not carefully dig trees or make holes. As for working in the garden, there are some nuances here. One of them is the fact that a simple unit can not perform curly digging. In addition, it is impossible to dig a hole with a miraculous shovel.

It is worth noting that only a user who weighs more than 80 kg can work with such a shovelotherwise, the work will not differ in productivity. The weight of the shovel is significantly different from the usual bayonet. And although this shovel in the process of work is raised only for installation at the beginning of the row, and then simply moved using the handle, the weight can affect the user's physical fatigue. Other disadvantages include the complexity of the repair.

Kinds

The design of the miracle shovel for digging and loosening the earth can be different. For example, not all models are equipped with a front stop. On the one hand, this is good, since this type of construction is less bulky, and its weight is reduced. But on the other hand, the absence of a front stop ensures tool stability.

Conventionally, models can be classified into ordinary, options “Plowman” and “Mole”.  As a rule, most modifications of the first type are performed at home. It is such varieties that do not have front emphasis. The disadvantages of products of this type include the need for frequent tillage, as they do not solve the problem with heaps of land. Such tools are suitable mainly for black soil.

Modifications "Plowman"were developed with the option of loosening the soil. The bayonet length range on average varies from 10 to 15 cm. This is convenient because it allows you to process different types of soil. The bayonet easily goes into the ground, regardless of the user's weight.

Mole Optionscharacterized by a longer bayonet length. It is about 25 cm and is designed for deep digging of the earth. Potholes can immediately be used to plant garden crops. However, some work is already required to work with this tool. This will be especially noticeable if you have to cultivate a fairly compacted soil or alumina.

As for the universal option, which could satisfy the demands of the gardener, such shovels have a bayonet length of 15 to 20 cm.

To use such devices for digging up land for planting potatoes is possible only in regions of the country where the soil is black soil and freezes no more than 5-10 cm. For a more severe climate, such a bayonet length is not enough. And therefore, the shovel will not be able to process the soil in a quality manner, which is bad for a qualitative renewal of the soil and ensuring a good harvest.

Regarding the fasteners, it is worth noting: for versions without a front stop, the back stop is welded to the comb of the second forks. At modifications of "diggers" the handle is regulated. It is attached using two bolts, and you need to select the height for the growth of a particular person. The emphasis of such models is movable, attached to the frame. Light-digging analogs are distinguished by roundness of stops and an arched unregulated handle.

As for the miraculous shovels for snow, such models are designs with an auger characterized by an oval type. They are one-and two-stage. Single-stage modifications have a screw operating in constant periodicity mode. Two-stage analogues operate with the capture of snow by the auger and its ejection by a special device, driven by a rotor.

Rating of the best models

The modern market offers customers the products of different manufacturers, producing wonderful shovels for the garden and garden. The question of choice must be approached thoroughly, since the shelf life and quality of the tool depend on the technological aspects of manufacturing and the quality of the material used. It should be noted that the shovel must be made of alloyed tool steel.It is good if it has a high-quality coating and the correct sharpening of bayonets. But it is also important that the mechanisms are fastened by welding or special loops. Threaded connections are unsuccessful in that they loose too quickly.

From the huge list of modifications, several options can be noted that are in great demand among buyers.

"Tornado"

The design with a specially developed leverage system does not require a lot of hand effort when working. Loosens the earth to a depth of 23 cm, the width of the cultivated strip is 50 cm. Suitable for working with rough and stony soil, uproots the roots of weeds without cutting them. Made of hardened steel, powder coated. You can even cultivate dry soil with a shovel, it is also suitable for harvesting from the garden.

"Vyatka plowman"

This shovel is a modification of a bayonet shovel, it is used for manual digging of soil for further planting, and in addition, for clearing trenches of small depth. It is asymmetric and implies a calculation on one working leg, although there are options that require the installation of a share under any of the legs. The length of the handle can be adjusted to the user's height. This model is suitable for working with dense soil, virgin soil and soddy soil. It differs in ergonomics, is made of STZ steel, has a bucket width of 30 cm.

Zemlekop-7

The tool for giving with a penetration depth of up to 25 cm, combines digging and loosening. Qualitatively removes weed grass during digging. It has two cuttings, 7 teeth and a digging width of 55 cm, due to which it allows you to create a wide garden bed in one row. Suitable for cultivation of rocky and hard soil, copes with the previously treated area during spring or autumn digging, relevant for the preparation of beds before planting. It differs from other modifications in that the emphasis is located under the frame, excellently swells the ground.

VolBer

The model with a patented leverage is characterized by an even distribution of the load on the user's back. It does not require cultivation of the soil with a harrow, it allows you to extract weeds without leaving them in the soil. It can be standard and wide. The first option is characterized by a processing width of 40 cm, a productivity of 2 hundred parts per hour, a loosening depth of up to 30 cm and a weight of about 10 kg. It is made of steel. The second type is called wide, because the width of the soil in this case is 60 cm. This device can process 3 hundred parts per hour with a penetration depth of 30 cm into the soil and an aggregate weight of 15 kg.

Forte QI-JY-50

Screw miracle shovel for snow removal with a blade made of durable plastic. It has a working width of 60 cm and a screw fixed to the blade, which rotates when pushing the shovel in front of the user. An effective tool for cleaning freshly fallen snow. It is characterized by compact dimensions, designed for use in small areas and inaccessible places. Like customers for ergonomics, ease of use and unpretentiousness in care.

"Assistant"

A model of a domestic manufacturer, suitable for digging up land before planting crops or after harvesting. In fact, it is a kind of bayonet shovel, it has a blade length of 28 cm with a width of 58 cm. The material of the working part is spring steel, the shovel weighs 5 kg. This miracle shovel has no analogues in the world, it is patented and is able to dig up even turf. The product is distinguished by its simplicity of design and ergonomics. In working with this shovel, the user's back remains straight, the efforts on the hands are the same, while unnecessary operator steps are excluded. Handles can be adjusted to the growth of the worker.

Terms of Use

Despite the fact that it is not difficult to work with a shovel-ripper, it is worth noting some nuances. It is necessary to start work from the far edge of the processed bed. You will have to move back (back forward), stretching the forks as you till the soil. On average, the cultivator will move a step from 10 to 20 cm. This indicator will vary depending on the cultivated soil.

If you work correctly with a spade, labor productivity can be from one to two hundred parts per hour. After plowing, the soil becomes soft; it does not need additional breaking of the earth clods. If you need to level it, classic rake will be enough.

The principle of operation will be as follows:

  • work forks are stuck in the ground so that it is touched by the back stop;
  • if necessary, add effort by pressing the foot on the working forks;
  • then pull the handle of the cultivator in the direction toward itself;

  • as the tension increases, the working forks begin to rise along with the layer of captured land;
  • when passing through the forks of the back stop, the collected land will be crushed, this process will be carried out without turning over, due to which the fertile layer of soil will be preserved;
  • after this, the miracle shovel should be moved towards itself, retreating, then repeat the process of digging the previous section of the soil (sticking the tool, squeezing, moving the handle).

One of the features of the processing is the fact that the shovel must not be moved sideways, but backward, while digging and loosening in rows. It is important to consider that cultivation must be carried out in a timely manner. There is no need to wait until the weeds rise and harden, because the effectiveness of land cultivation in this case will significantly decrease. This unit weighs an average of just over 5 kg. This is a little, but for the female body it may seem tangible.

There is always a lot of work in the garden, but one of the most difficult and tiring is digging the land. In small areas, such work is done with a shovel, but it takes strength. However, there is a special tool that will allow you to perform this work with much less effort. The story about what is a miracle shovel drawings and sizes for its manufacture will be in this article.

What can a miracle shovel

This tool provides additional opportunities for the farmer.

The miracle shovel provides the summer resident with the following advantages:

  1. When digging the earth with its help, much less effort is required compared to using a conventional tool.
  2. The quality of loosening of the earth with such processing increases. If clods are formed, then during operation they are broken into pieces.
  3. Some designs include a backstop. In the process of digging the soil, you can step on it to help yourself immerse the tool in dense and heavy soil.
  4. If there are weed roots in the ground, then a shovel for the lazy will take them out in a whole form, and not cut it into pieces.
  5. This tool is convenient to use for digging potatoes.
  6. Digging speed is much higher than during normal operation.

Miracle Shovel

In its appearance, the shovel of the digger resembles a pitchfork with additional details.

It includes the following parts:

  1. The shaft for which the tool is held by a person.
  2. Metal pitchforks, the teeth of which are about the same length as ordinary ones, but about twice as wide. Usually they have 6 to 8 teeth.
  3. A metal stop going back is attached to the pitchfork. When the miracle shovels are immersed in the ground, you can put pressure on it with your weight to make the tool easier to enter dense ground. It also serves as a stop when turning the shovel out of the ground.
  4. In the front direction, a horizontal grill is attached, installed in such a way that the teeth of the forks, rising, pass through it. With this movement, clods of land are between the forks and the trellis, and as a result they crumble into small pieces.

It describes a typical KrotChel spade design. In practice, several different options for its design are used.

Garden ripper "KROTCHEL"

How to work with a shovel

In order to dig the earth, you need to stand with your back in the direction in which you have to move.

In order to use this tool, you need to do the following:

  1. Stick a shovel into the ground. If this is difficult to do due to the density of the soil, you need to step on the metal stop.
  2. After the shovel has entered the ground, the shaft must be tilted back without raising above the ground. At the same time, the land that the forks hook on will go through the grate and crumble.
  3. Then the shovel, without lifting up, is shifted back and again immersed in the ground.

This process is repeated until the entire section has been completed.

Various tool options

There are devices that, although arranged in a similar way, have important design differences. They are described in more detail below.

Soil cultivator without front stop

In this type of design, there is no front stop. Lattice for breaking clods made without a front bar. This slightly reduces the weight of the mole ripper shovel. However, since there is no need to raise a shovel above the ground during operation, this does not give a significant advantage.

Soil cultivator without front stop

Digger

This option differs from the classic one in that it does not have a grill located in front. The handle of the tool is also made in a different way.

The digger consists of the following parts:

  1. It uses a pen made in the shape of the letter "T". Therefore, in the process, the shovel is not held as usual. Hands hold the tool for horizontal bars. This helps to increase the pressure on the soil during operation. In addition, such a pen is usually made of metal. It can extend up or down. After a convenient position is found, the handle is bolted.
  2. The forks are attached to the handle at two ends, and not at the center, as in the classic version.
  3. The emphasis attached to the back of the instrument is more powerful than in the normal case.

The disadvantage of this design is that crushing of the soil is not provided.

Easy dig

This option can be considered the simplest construction. For her, she had to invent a rectangular metal frame to which the forks were attached, looking down. The emphasis made rectangular is attached horizontally. The front grill is missing.

On a note.  Despite its simple construction, this kind of miracle shovel is an effective digging tool.

Archimedean Shovel

It does not look much like the classic version. The difference, in particular, is that here, not a pitchfork, but a bayonet shovel, are used for digging. However, the inventor applied a similar principle here: the lever rule. This is the invention of Vladimir Kolybelin from the city of Kovrov, Vladimir Region.

Armed Archimedean shovel thus:

  1. She has two poles: long and short.
  2. The tool blade is attached to a short shaft.
  3. All parts are connected in one piece by the bracket. With it, a short shaft with a shovel in the middle is connected to a long handle and can rotate.

During operation, the tool is stuck in the ground, the long handle is slightly shifted forward. Then they step on the short part, and, taking into account the law of the lever and the length of the shoulder, the shovel will raise the ground.

Important!  Although an arhimedova shovel saves effort compared to conventional tools, it is difficult to apply on heavy clay soils.

How to make it yourself

You can make such a shovel yourself, but for this you need to be able to work with metal, for example, perform welding work. This section will tell you how to make a miracle a shovel with your own hands, about the drawings and dimensions for its manufacture.

Materials

The main part of the structure is made of metal. To do this, you can take a profiled pipe or corner. The thickness should be approximately 30 mm. In the latter case, the steel used is important, it should not be thinner than 3 mm.

Important!  The teeth must be made of quality steel. Suitable for those obtained from forks or those made on the basis of an automobile spring. It is recommended that the teeth be 6 to 8.

The handle can be made of wood or from a metal pipe.

Dimensions

The width of the working part is usually from 60 to 80 cm. If you do more, then this will practically not add productivity. The recommended length of the pins is from 22 to 30 cm.

The length of the handle is made by height. It will be convenient if it reaches the shoulder.

Blueprints

The figure below shows one of the options for how to make a shovel.

Miracle Shovel Drawing

In accordance with this scheme, it is possible to make a tool yourself.

Miracle shovel significantly facilitates the work of digging the site. It can be done independently. If possible, it makes sense to purchase a quality purchase model.

Any gardener understands that the correct cultivation of the land and the creation of beds play an important role in the success of growing garden crops. The basic rules are its digging 2 times per season, thorough cultivation and removal of weeds. After such procedures, surface leveling is performed for planting. To perform any of the actions you will need a special tool. Today there are devices that combine all these functions.

Features and differences

It is more correct to say that a miracle shovel is more likely not a shovel in the literal sense of the word, but a soil cultivator. Since with its help they do not dig the earth, but carefully loosen it. Most often, such a tool consists of two, in very rare cases, one, strips on which the pins are located. Some models are complemented by a back stop, which facilitates the process of digging heavy earth. Visually, the shovel-ripper is more like a double fork.

Miracle Shovel

What can

Shovel forks have great functionality. When performing work in the garden, a super-shovel is able to replace immediately:

  • Rake;
  • Pitchfork;
  • Ram;
  • Manure spreader;
  • Digger for potatoes.

This is not just a replacement tool, but also a significant relief. With the help of a miraculous shovel, you can not only dig up the earth to a given depth, but also level its surface. This tedious process becomes quick and easy. Replace a similar shovel and cultivator.

Using this tool, you can dig up potatoes without damaging the root crops, collect foliage and perform many actions to care for the garden and orchard.

Important!  When working with such a shovel, only arms and legs are involved, and not the back, since you do not need to bend often, leaning and straightening.

You can use the miracle shovel exclusively on previously cultivated land

You can use the miracle shovel exclusively on previously cultivated land, it is not able to cope with virgin soil.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of a smart shovel is that the device facilitates the digging of the earth. The next advantage is that after working with such a shovel a person feels less tired than after working with a traditional one.

Also, many choose a similar tool due to the fact that significantly reduces the time for processing the garden.

One minus is the big weight of the device. But it does not need to be constantly lifted, like a bayonet. The super shovel is simply pulled over the surface of the earth during digging.

On a note.  You need to raise it two times: when you set it at the beginning of the row and when you finish the work.

How to work

Using a miracle shovel for digging the earth gives a lot of advantages when digging: the back does not get tired, the creation of beds is much faster.

The digging process consists of simple manipulations.

During operation, the ground is located between the emphasis and the pitchfork, it turns out that at the same time the soil is dug up and loosened.

The process of digging consists in simple manipulations: first, the forks are stuck in the ground, then the black is lowered. After each lowering, the shovel should be removed. Similarly repeat the movement from row to row.

Digging and digging a garden is now much easier and faster.

On a note.  The tool is suitable for everyone, both women and the elderly can handle such manipulations.

By their design, miracle shovels can vary. Such tools have various names. You can often find shovels called "Plowman", "Tornado", "Digger" and many others. Each of them has its own characteristics, but the constructive principle of operation is the same in all cases.

Soil cultivator without front stop

A similar device is similar to everything else. The basis is the supporting and working elements, represented by forks, but in this smart shovel there is no front stop. This is precisely its design feature. Such designs are lighter and less overall. But this is not too important when working, while the lack of front emphasis deprives increased stability.

Such devices consist of two main elements:

  1. Work fork with welded handle.
  2. Forks for support, to the comb of which the back stop is fixed using welding.

Digger

This variety is represented by wider forks, which are connected to the emphasis. A powerful convenient handle complements the entire structure. Features of this design - the presence of an emphasis and an adjustable handle. The emphasis in the shovel digger is also movable. After the structure is immersed in the ground, it is pressed against the stop with the foot and the contents of the bed with root crops are turned out. Why the tool is turned out and rearranged.

On a note.  It is easy to work with such a device, so the digging process is faster. But this miracle device is not able to crush the soil, so you should not use it for heavy and lumpy areas.

Easy dig

The device has a rounded emphasis and a handle that is not adjustable. Digging forks are made in a similar way, and the principle of operation is no different. This is a fairly light construction that will help to quickly dig up the ground. To understand which device is better, you can only by trying both options in practice.

What and how to do

If there is no way to buy such a device, do not be upset. It is easy to craft on your own.

Important!  As you can see, all the devices differ in the number of components and materials needed to complete the assembly work. The cross section and characteristics are the same for everyone.

Materials for the manufacture

Before you engage in the manufacture of a miracle shovel with your own hands, you should prepare the source material.

Miracle spade drawing

To create a framework, it is necessary to use a profiled pipe with a diameter of 3x3 cm, with a wall thickness of 3 mm or more. For some models, you may need a corner (shelf width - 3 cm, wall thickness - 3 mm).

The handle can be made from a similar profiled pipe. In some models, the use of wooden handles is allowed, like a screw for a regular shovel.

Particular attention should be paid to the manufacture of forks. Strong steel is required here. The rods for the manufacture of the teeth of the working forks should be at least 8 mm in diameter.

Interesting fact.  House craftsmen very easily found a solution that helps in a similar situation. They cut the teeth from simple forks, cut the machine springs into narrow strips or straighten strong springs, for example, suspensions. You can choose many options, the main thing is that the original steel is durable.

Dimensions

Modern manufacturers offer their customers tools that can dig, loosen and level, various sizes. This is done so that a person can pick up a miracle shovel on his own, because everyone is different in growth and equipment.

Miracle Shovel Ripper

Most often, designs are made with the following dimensions:

  1. The width of the working part is 45-60 cm. Too large structures are harder to use, which can reduce productivity.
  2. Bayonets for working forks can have a length of 22-30 cm.
  3. The length of the handle should be chosen at your discretion. This is done in accordance with growth.
  4. The optimal gap between the pins is a distance of 7-8 cm.

All other characteristics are selected during manufacture. Depending on the chosen design, model and material used, the parameters may vary.

Blueprints

Before you start to produce individual elements of the super shovel, you should create a detailed diagram of the tool. Each drawing should contain detailed descriptions with an indication of the size, the study of trifles. This will take considerable time, but will help to create a convenient tool in the end. Without a blueprint, it is very difficult to get what you want, it can only happen with an experienced craftsman who already does not make the first miracle shovel.

As you can see, you can simplify your work on the site with a simple mechanism. If you have certain skills and knowledge of working with metal, then you can independently make a miracle shovel. A homemade tool is more economical.

A popular tool for agricultural work on a summer cottage is considered a shovel. It will help to dig up beds, and remove the roots of weeds, and loosen the ground.

    Not without reason, the miracle of a shovel has gained popularity among gardeners - the effect of the use of tools increases many times.

    Setting miracle shovels to a certain depth of harrowing, loosening is quick and clear for every summer resident. Thanks to the original device of the unit, it is possible to fix the working surface relative to the soil level, the handle at different angles.

    As soon as a miracle is not called a shovel: the miracle of the pitchfork, and the miracle of the ripper, and the shovel for the lazy. But one important thing is that the design of the unit has many different functions. Therefore, the time and effort to dig in the site will take much less than when using conventional tools.

    They deepen the inventory into the ground, relying on a convenient handle with the whole body, and not with one leg. And controlling a special lever, you can easily turn over a heavy layer of soil.

    Speaking about the advantages of the miracle of a shovel, one can note its reliability, ease of use.

    While working with a tool, a person does not feel fatigue, performing not only digging, but also harrowing the garden, turning the roots and stones up. Of course, unlike a simple shovel, such a miracle inventory is less maneuverable, they cannot dig trees, shrubs, prepare holes for tomatoes, pits for planting, but for spring work in the garden it is simply irreplaceable. Enough models of the miracle of shovels have been created, but the unit can be constructed by itself.

    Of the most popular types of agricultural products for processing the garden can be identified:

    • The miracle of the spade Plowman has many advantages. It is equipped with levers that drive the entire tool. With such equipment, you can process a large area quickly and efficiently. In addition to digging, the aggregate loosens the soil to a depth of twenty centimeters. The width of the blade of the spade Plowman is from 43 to 55 centimeters.

For an hour of work with a shovel, they process three hundred parts of the site, loosening the soil to a depth of 25 centimeters. The only drawback of the unit is that it is used for processing areas with light soil, for rocky, virgin areas, it does not fit.

    All models of advanced shovels have a number of advantages, advanced functions. They are especially preferred by the elderly.

    Any tool must be skillfully used to serve as long as possible. The operation of a manual cultivator is based on the principle of leverage. By pressing the foot pedal, a person contributes to the insertion of working teeth into the soil. Lowering the lever with his hands down, the summer resident makes the earthen layer rise. In this case, the soil layer is broken by oncoming teeth. Without turning the entire layer, the device loosens the earth, without impoverishing its fertile layer.

    A feature of the tool is that it can only be used on wet soils. He does not loosen dry soil. The best time to use unusual equipment is considered the beginning of spring, mid-autumn. But too moist soil is difficult to process a miracle with a shovel. During the preparation of the soil for planting plants, large areas are excavated with an instrument. In this case, digging, pull it back to itself. It is a pleasure to treat loose soil with a shovel, but on dry, stony, clayy lands there will be no sense in the device.

    Use a miracle shovel should be careful, then it will serve for a long time.

    Choose a tool depending on the type of soil with different ripper widths. Soft earth is excavated by a shovel with a working width of 55 centimeters, and hard - by 35. But a wide shovel will require great efforts from the summer resident.

    The maintenance of the tool is the same as that of gardening equipment. It is stored under a canopy, protecting from rains. For the winter, the teeth are cleaned of soil, all parts of the structure are wiped with a dry rag. You can lubricate the metal parts of the shovel with machine oil, saving from rust.

    For a craftsman, it’s not difficult to build a spade with your own hands. The tool manufacturing sequence is as follows:

    1. Start with the working part of the equipment, similar to a pitchfork. Fifteen centimeters of teeth are cut from a metal rod ten millimeters thick. They are welded to the corner, slightly arched forward.
    2. The square frame is bent out of the metal corner a little wider than the forks, welded to it the teeth that are located between the working parts of the forks.
    3. In one plane with a pitchfork, a U-shaped arc is welded.
    4. Connect the forks to the large frame with hinges.
    5. For the cuttings they take a wooden pole about one and a half meters long.

    A simpler construction is a miracle of a shovel made of a bicycle wheel fixed at the top of the tube and a bucket made of a sheet of metal. The spade blade is welded to the base of the pipe, retreating five centimeters from the bottom. So that the steering wheel does not press on the chest, rubber tips are put on its handles. The simple shape of the shovel will allow the blade to be driven deep into the ground, easily turning the layer of earth.

    For innovators who facilitate agricultural work in their summer cottage, there is nothing difficult for themselves to come up with a design of a universal nature, to make it from improvised materials.
