<p><b>Mantis Electric Tiller</b> is environmentally friendly, cutting down on the pollution produced by fossil fuels, including noise pollution, using a 120-volt double-insulated electric motor that can spin the tines at up to 240 rotations per minute.</p>
<p>The serpentine tines are reversible and can cut through even some of the toughest soils.  Sod, mulch or hard earth, the Mantis Electric Tiller only weighs 21 pounds and was made to do a variety of jobs, including digging down up to 10 inches.</p>
<p>Mantis guarantees all products for two years after purchase, but the special design of the serpentine tines found on Mantis Electric Tiller is guaranteed for life against breakage.</p>
<p>The transmission is a one-piece cast aluminum housing that makes for a long lasting design that is low in maintenance.</p>
<p>Mantis Electric Tiller is very quiet, which is a plus for urban areas, with three speeds available, depending on the toughness of the soil.  For tougher soils, the lower speeds are more recommended, as they use the same amount of energy, but give off far more traction and power.</p>
<p>For storage and portability, the handles use only six nuts and bolts for easy detachment and folding.  Mantis Electric Tiller even comes with a special instruction manual that reviews the basic uses, including proper handling and storage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have always wanted to use the right tool for the right job while landscaping-it-yourself, <strong>Mantis E-System</strong> seems a rather interesting option.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rainwaterharv-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B000FIY9QS&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;padding:4px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="left" target="_blank"></iframe>One single power head and four optional attachments make the <strong>Mantis E-System</strong> a four-in-one package that can be tailored to meet both rigorous standards of quality as well as the do-it-yourselfers needs, all in one practical/versatile tool that trims, line cuts, edges and prunes as needed.</p>
<p>Using electricity as the power source also gives Mantis E-System an edge in urban lots where fumes and CO2 regulations have cracked down on the use of gas powered yard equipment.  Even the noise regulations are overcome with only the humming purr of whipping blades.</p>
<p>Bushes, small trees, branches that get in the way or even hedges that have overgrown their purpose and now take over more area than they should, Mantis E-System was designed to do the job with less weight, more power and more diversity.</p>
<p><strong>Power Head</strong> (click image to buy)</p>
<p>Mantis E-System Power Head is the source of all the power and turns four tools into one tool.  The Power Head has an extra long reach for those taller tree branches and difficult to get to places, is lightweight and offers a good balance with a the shoulder harness in use.</p>
<p>Weighing only 11.8 pounds, consuming 850 Watts, running at 8000 RPM, the full shaft length is 36 inches long.</p>
<p><strong>Edger Attachment</strong> (click image to buy)</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FIY9RC?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=homegarden-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000FIY9RC" target="_blank"><img border="2" align="left" src="http://www.home2garden.org/images/edger.jpg" alt="Edger Attachment" title="Buy Edger Attachment"  /></a>Like all the other options for the Mantis E-System, the Edger Attachment is also lightweight and easy to maneuver.  Rolling smoothly along walkways, driveways and lawn divisions or garden beds; (must be used in addition to the Power Head).</p>
<p>At a mere 7.2 pounds over all, the shaft length is useful for those who need to keep healthy and up right, with an additional 24.5 inches at the edger end.</p>
<p>Including a steel cutting blade, steel cutting guard and six-inch guide wheel.</p>
<p>The U-shaped guide handle allows for a more comfortable grip while the cutting depth can be adjusted to up to 2 inches, all working upright.</p>
<p><strong>Line Trimmer Attachment</strong> (click image to buy)</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FIY9RM?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=homegarden-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000FIY9RM" target="_blank"><img border="2" align="left" src="http://www.home2garden.org/images/trimmer.jpg" alt="Line Trimmer Attachment" title="Buy Line Trimmer Attachment" /></a>Mantis E-System Line Trimmer Attachment is used in unison with the Power Head and takes down those weeds and undesirables that your lawn mower didn&#8217;t get at.</p>
<p>Around the edges and in the corners of tall grass, like on those bad-news slopes, the Line Trimmer Attachment does the job.</p>
<p>Only 3.2 pounds in weight, the shaft is 24.5 inches long and the cutting swath takes a good 16.75 inches of diameter down to the ground with just one single pass.</p>
<p><strong>Hedge Trimmer Attachment</strong> (click image to buy)</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FIY9RW?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=homegarden-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000FIY9RW" target="_blank"><img border="2" align="left" src="http://www.home2garden.org/images/hedgetrimmer.jpg" alt="Hedge Trimmer Attachment" title="Buy Hedge Trimmer Attachment" /></a>Mantis E-System Hedge Trimmer Attachment can be adjusted for high and low spaces and will trim hedges without straining your neck or back muscles, cutting at different angles.</p>
<p>Up to 180 degrees of angling, the quick-release lever makes moving the angle of the trimmer attachment no nonsense.</p>
<p>Low hedges, ground covers or tall hedges, the HTA weights six pounds and must also be used together with the power head to function.</p>
<p>The Shaft length is the standard 24.5 inches long, with an over all reach of 8.2 feet when fully assembled.</p>
<p>The blade is 20 inches long and comes with dual-reciprocating hardened-steel blades that cut branches up to 3/8 inches thick.</p>
<p><strong>Pruner Attachment</strong> (click image to buy)</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FIV2B8?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=homegarden-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000FIV2B8" target="_blank"><img border="0" align="left" src="http://www.home2garden.org/images/pruner.jpg" alt="Pruner Attachment" title="Pruner Attachment" /></a>Mantis E-System Pruner Attachment must also be used together with the Power Head and will take down tall tree branches of up to seven feet high, without the use of a ladder, without strain or injury and weighs only four pounds.</p>
<p>The shaft is 29.5 inches long, and comes with a self-lubrication tank of 4.1 ounces that will automatically oil the chain whenever necessary and cut branches of up to four inches thick.</p>
<p>Mantis E-System was designed for those who like to save shed space, those looking to save the back muscles from unwanted strain and those who enjoy playing with yard tools all day while still getting the work done.</p>

<p>Mantis Tiller was designed to make gardening easier, both for those who just love doing their own landscaping as well as the professionals themselves, with too much to lug around from one space to another.</p>
<p><strong>Mantis Gas Tiller</strong> is twenty pounds of power that tills nine inches wide, through sod and even compacted soil, perfect for rows.  What gives Mantis Gas Tiller all this power?</p>
<p>The unique patented serpentine tines that have a lifetime guarantee against breakage and a one-year in-home trial with money back guarantee.</p>

If you have large amounts of kitchen scraps, live in the city or somewhere with limited garden space, the Mantis Compost Twin could be for you.</p>
<p>Tumblers in general are very effective, but most people find that they don&#8217;t have enough <a href="http://www.compost-bin.org/">compost bin</a> space at the end of the week to start the next batch while last weeks is still curing.</p>
<p>Tumbling is a good idea in general, for those who need immediate results for home made humus.  But the advantages of having two bins in one tumbler are numerous to the single tumbler variety.</p>
<p>Mantis is an interesting product not merely for their unique compost tumbler design that not only allows for efficient and greatly needed high temperatures, but also easy tumbling that in a traditional cold pile or bin just seems to take forever to go out there with a shovel or pitch fork and do manually.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.home2garden.org/images/mantis-compost-tumbler.jpg" align="right" title="Mantis Compost Tumbler"  alt="Mantis Compost Tumbler" border="1"/>The Mantis ComposT-Twin is a hot pile, and one of the best made.  Not merely for their effective design and easy use, but also due to outstanding ventilation grades that not only allow high quantities of oxygen into the center of the hot spot on a daily basis but also keep critters and bad smells far from your lot.</p>
<p>Hot piles such as those found in tumblers like the Mantis reliable Compost tumbler are sure to kill anything that could be harmful to your plants or humans and transform all that organic matter into nutrient rich soil that mother nature loves.</p>
<p>Statistics show that the average North American family of five people will fill approximately 10-15 cubic feet worth of organic kitchen scraps in seven days.  The magic behind Mantis ComposT-Twin two-bin compost tumbler is there, it offers what the average people need in one week two fold!</p>
<p>Holding some 25 cubic feet of kitchen scraps is exactly what the average family would need if the tumbler is being used properly.  That way, after one bin has been filled, the second bin can start the same process; leaving the first bin to fully compost throughout the week.</p>
<p>That extra week of isolated tumbling will make quick work of your organic kitchen wastes for those thermophilic composters. Instead of dieing off with the lack of organic matter in traditional cold piles, thermophiles will find themselves equally distributed throughout the hot pile of a tumbler on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Mantis ComposT-Twin tumblers provide an amply supply of organic material to feast upon, and make absolutely sure that you have decent compost within a reasonable amount of time.  If you like turning the tumbler you will find that soon you will have so much humus you can give it away to friends and neighbors.</p>
<p>Do you use ten bushels of humus a week?  If you do, then the Mantis ComposT-Twin compost bin is going to pay for itself in just two years of usage.If not, then hey, you are going to have either the brightest looking plants in the neighborhood or make some of the best friends in town gardeners!</p>
<p><em>At least that is the average.  If you want guarantees, Mantis speaks for itself.  Mantis will allow for complete satisfaction on any product sold for one year or your money back: no-risk and no-hassle!  Mantis is an honest product, and the ComposT-Twin is perfect for anyone looking to make humus of kitchen scraps with easy and guaranteed no-risk safety.</em></p>
