What is a rotovator?

A rotovator, also known as a rototiller or rotary tiller, is a gardening tool used to prepare soil for planting by breaking it up into finer particles. It features rotating blades or tines that dig into the soil, aerating and mixing it to improve structure and drainage. Rotovators can be powered by gasoline or electricity, and they vary in size from small, handheld models to larger, tractor-mounted versions. They are particularly useful for cultivating garden beds, vegetable patches, and landscaping areas.
