Gardening has grown in popularity and continues to be a favorite hobby for many people. The great thing about having a garden is you can grow a variety of plants, even in small spaces. Your compact tractor can be a helpful resource with gardening as long as you get the right attachments.

Plows

Plow attachments are great for gardening because they are built to break up the ground and overturn previous vegetation for decomposition. Plowing by hand is tough work, but with a compact tractor the hard work can be done without breaking much of a sweat. 

Tillers & Harrows

After plowing an area, it might be necessary to break the soil into even finer particles. Disk harrows and tillers are perfect for the job. Although they work a little differently, both compact tractor attachments will result in fewer clods of soil and a smoother surface for planting seeds. 

Garden Bedders 

The garden bedder compact tractor attachment is a great tool that can instantly create rows in your garden. It will run through the ground and make evenly spaced trenches. This can be important for marking your area, especially if you plan to lay plastic. 

Spreaders

Your garden needs to have access to nutritious soil. Spreaders are essential for adding fertilizers to your soil. Having this compact tractor attachment will save you from completing this job by hand, allowing you more time to plan your garden! 

Planters

Depending on what crops you like to grow, having a small planter can save you so much time and can even increase your productivity or yield. You can utilize row planters, which will evenly space your seeds in rows, or you can use manual transplanters to place your starts in the ground. Planters are a great addition for your garden because they can increase accuracy!

When Should You Switch to a Compact Tractor Attachment?

If you have a compact tractor, there are almost endless possibilities when it comes to adding an attachment. But it might not always feel like you need to make the switch from manual processes to using an attachment. The best way to know when to make the leap is when you are caring for a large area of land, you feel like you can’t get everything accomplished within your expected time frame, or when you would like your garden to become more productive. 

You can effectively garden without the use of compact tractors and their attachments, but using these tools can be a great time saver!
