Get the most out of your rake with these practical tips for common gardening tasks.
Loosening & Aerating Compacted Soil
Pull the 5 sharp tines through compacted or crusted soil to break up the top several inches and restore a loose, crumbly texture. Well-aerated soil improves water penetration — especially important when paired with a drip irrigation system — by allowing moisture to reach roots more efficiently and reducing surface runoff.
Leveling Soil in Raised Beds
After adding fresh soil, compost, or amendments to your raised beds, use the rake head to distribute and level the surface evenly before planting. A smooth, level bed ensures consistent seed depth and uniform watering coverage from your drip lines.
Removing Surface Weeds
Draw the tines just below the soil surface to uproot shallow-rooted weeds and their runners between rows and around established plants. For deep tap-rooted weeds, pair the rake with the GardenBee Stainless Steel Weeder for clean, complete removal.
Incorporating Soil Amendments
Sprinkle compost, fertilizer, or other soil amendments over your bed and use the rake to work them evenly into the top few inches of soil. This ensures nutrients are distributed throughout the root zone rather than sitting on the surface. The GardenBee Stainless Steel Scoop is an ideal companion for measuring and dispensing amendments before raking them in.
Care & Storage
After use, rinse the stainless steel tines with water and dry before storing. The rust-proof steel requires no oiling. Store in the GardenBee Tote Bag to keep your full tool kit organized and easy to carry to any part of your garden.
