Hand tiller soil cultivation system

The method of loosening a plot of ground by a user, comprising the steps of:

• a. providing a hand cultivating implement, comprising:
• a main handle member having a lower, first end, an upper, second end, and a medial area therebetween;
• a cultivator member affixed to the first end of said main handle member, said cultivator member including a base situated in lateral juxtaposition relative to said main handle member, said base having emanating therefrom in general longitudinal alignment with said main handle member a plurality of generally evenly spaced tines of generally equal length, said tines situated along a common plane;
• a grasping handle formed about said main handle member, said grasping handle in longitudinal alignment with said main handle member, said grasping handle adjacent to the second end of said main handle member;
• a torque handle affixed to and emanating laterally from said main handle member, said torque handle situated below said grasping handle;
• and
• torque handle adjustment means for allowing said torque handle to be affixed to said main handle member in a selectively adjustable fashion, from the medial area of said main handle member, to just below the grasping handle;
• b. adjusting said torque handle utilizing said torque handle adjustment means, in such a manner as to allow the user to manipulate said torque handle in a standing position;
• c. piercing the plot of ground to be cultivated with said tines of said cultivator member, such that said tines are at least partially placed into the plot of ground;
• d. grasping said grasping handle with one hand, supporting said main handle member;
• e. grasping said torque handle with the other hand;
• f. pushing said torque handle away from the user, partially rotating said main handle member in a first rotational direction about said main handle member's longitudinal axis;
• g. pulling said torque handle toward said user, partially rotating said main handle member in an second rotational direction about said main handle member's longitudinal axis;
• h. thereby partially rotating said tines of said cultivator member, loosening the soil;
• i. lifting said main handle member, removing the tines from the soil;
• j. repeating steps b-i.
