What is a rototiller?

A rototiller is a type of agricultural machine used for tilling the soil by breaking and loosening it. It consists of a series of rotating blades or tines that dig into the soil and break it apart. Rototillers are commonly used to prepare garden beds, fields, and vegetable gardens for planting by mixing in fertilizers and compost. They come in a range of sizes and types, from small handheld models to large tractor-mounted units. The use of a rototiller can reduce the effort required for manual tilling and enable faster soil preparation. However, overuse of a rototiller can result in soil compaction and erosion, so it is important to use them judiciously.
