A cultivator has teeth made to grab and remove entire broad-leaf weeds (roots and all) as they travel over them. This feature reduces the need for you to get down and pull weeds from your garden. For smaller weeds, the cultivator tears them from the surface and turns them into the upper few inches of soil.
