About Mantis
Over 40 years ago, Mantis introduced an innovative product that would revolutionize gardening around the world – the Mantis Tiller/Cultivator; part of the Mantis lawn and garden product family. Before that time, garden tillers were big, bulky, heavy pieces of equipment, and tilling was not easy. Once it was demonstrated just how powerful and versatile this new Mantis Tiller was, even the most skeptical gardeners were won over. The Mantis Tiller made tilling and cultivating accessible to millions of people who were unwilling or unable to tangle with old, behemoth rototillers.

think. Then I realize that the composter tubes resemble the tube my dog poop bags go around so I grab one of those and it fits as well! Just needs to snipped so it so it is a little shorter. So now my expensive composter is hobbled together with a tube for poop bags. It would be funny if it wasn’t such a waste of time. Seriously just make your own composter. It will be a lot easier.
