Description
Professional Rotary Cultivation for Perfect Seedbeds
The WOLF-Garten DAS Soil Miller features an innovative pendulum blade design that creates fine, crumbly tilth ideal for seed sowing. This 15cm rotary cultivator breaks down compacted soil, removes small weeds, and incorporates amendments in a single pass, transforming rough ground into perfectly prepared seedbeds with minimal effort.
Key Features
- Pendulum blade action: Rotating blade creates fine, even tilth by breaking soil clumps as you push forward
- 15cm working width: Ideal for vegetable beds, borders, and allotment cultivation
- Multi-purpose design: Breaks soil, removes weeds, and mixes in compost or fertilizer simultaneously
- Efficient roller action: Self-propelling design reduces effort compared to traditional hand cultivation
- Multi-Change® compatibility: Pair with any WOLF-Garten handle for customized reach and comfort
- German-engineered quality: Robust construction built to withstand demanding cultivation tasks
How the Soil Miller Works
Unlike traditional hoes or cultivators that require chopping or pulling motions, the DAS Soil Miller uses a rotating pendulum blade that tumbles through the soil as you push it forward. This rolling action breaks up clumps, pulverizes compacted soil, and creates the fine, crumbly texture essential for successful seed germination.
The self-propelling design means the tool does most of the work—you simply guide it forward while the blade rotation breaks down the soil. This efficiency makes seedbed preparation faster and far less tiring than conventional hand cultivation methods.
Why Choose the DAS Soil Miller?
Creating fine tilth for seedbeds traditionally requires multiple passes with different tools—breaking clumps with a fork, raking smooth, removing weeds, then incorporating amendments. The DAS accomplishes all these tasks in one efficient operation, saving time and reducing the physical effort required for seedbed preparation.
The fine tilth created by the pendulum blade provides ideal conditions for seed-to-soil contact, improving germination rates and establishing stronger seedlings. This is particularly valuable for fine seeds like carrots, lettuce, and brassicas that struggle in rough, clumpy soil.
Ideal Applications
- Preparing vegetable beds for direct sowing
- Creating fine tilth for carrot, lettuce, and brassica seedbeds
- Breaking down soil after digging or rotavating
- Incorporating compost, manure, or fertilizer into topsoil
- Removing small annual weeds during cultivation
- Refreshing and aerating established vegetable beds between crops
- Allotment and kitchen garden maintenance
- Preparing flower beds for annual planting
Professional Seedbed Preparation Tips
1. Start with Rough-Dug Soil
For best results, use the DAS after initial digging or forking. The soil miller excels at breaking down rough clumps into fine tilth, but works most efficiently when large stones and debris have been removed first.
2. Work When Soil Conditions Are Right
Cultivate when soil is moist but not wet. Soil that's too dry forms hard clumps that resist breaking, while overly wet soil compacts and smears. The ideal condition is when soil crumbles easily in your hand.
3. Multiple Passes for Finest Tilth
For exceptionally fine seedbeds, make two passes at right angles to each other. The first pass breaks major clumps, while the second creates the ultra-fine texture ideal for small seeds.
4. Incorporate Amendments Efficiently
Spread compost or fertilizer on the soil surface, then use the DAS to mix it into the top few centimeters. The rotating action distributes amendments evenly throughout the seedbed.
Multi-Change® System Benefits
As part of the WOLF-Garten Multi-Change® system, the DAS tool head connects securely to any Multi-Change® handle via the click-and-lock mechanism. Choose a handle length that suits your height and working style—longer handles for standing cultivation, shorter handles for raised beds at waist height.
The secure connection ensures the tool remains stable during the forward-pushing motion required for effective soil milling.

WOLF-Garten's reputation for quality means the DAS is manufactured to professional standards. The pendulum blade mechanism is engineered for durability and consistent performance through years of demanding cultivation work.
