- If you’re like most people, weeding is one of the biggest challenges in maintaining your garden. Weeds steal water and nutrients from your plants, harbor insects, shade and crowd your vegetables, and are an eyesore. Despite the time and expense of applying mulch or weed block, weeds often still find a way into the garden. Now, Tertill offers a better way.
Created by roboticist Joe Jones - inventor of the Roomba - Franklin Robotics’ Tertill is a robot designed to live in your garden and take care of the weeding, come rain or shine.

With some more refinement, I can see big possibilities for use on farms, especially organic farms.
unfortunately all my weeds are 2 to 3 feet tall
Exactly!
@Linda Ystueta where I live the weeds grow out of the snow.

lost me at 100 sq feet, i was stoked to get my hands on one but only a 10x10 area not going to cut it ( no pun intended) 1:48
i think if they can get it to 400-500 sq feet they will have a winner for vegetable gardeners .
I agree. I hope with their introduction to the lawnmower market iRobot consider picking this type of tech up. I would much rather this be battery power and dock up to recharge. If someone is really so concerned about the environment or whatever then they can power the charger with a solar panel lol. A nice big one that can manage some more go. Also the newer mapping technology would greatly improve efficiency to avoid doubling over the same area.
I have several plots at 10x20, I'm still going to buy one just to see how it'll work. I mean I dont see what an extra 100 square feet would hurt.
@@ryandavis4689 did it work?
Hey guys, this is such a cute and practical invention!
It's so adorable
How cool! I love practical inventions that make life easier! Genius!
That's really interesting! Roomba for the garden
Awesome. Can we get a bigger one for mulch areas??
This is awesome!! I want one!!
you guys need mini turtles that swarm.
How do you get the garden so smooth? This would definitely not work on a farm or a garden that has been power tilled, or any garden I have seen. It appears to work only on your “combed” flat soil.
Very nice! I'll try to build one by myself.
It'd be amazing if you made one for the lawn. The weeds are bigger and tougher. I have over three acres of land that needs to be weeded.
Looks great!
My biggest concern is security. If I want one, all I need to do is walk around my neighborhood at night and pick one up.
Some sort of untamperable GPS tracking beacon would be helpful.
A bomb that goes off when you leave the neighborhood is also good .. fuk thieves , wouldn't feel bad at all
Dillon M what if you have to move out of the neighborhood
@@llevi6707 You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!
Maybe putting an AirTag inside of it would work? I don't know if that will work, as I don't know if the Tertill can be easily opened or if there's enough space inside. I just learned about this thing today - IT'S SO CUTE!
It's basically the end of the growing season, but wow, now I'm motivated to make a garden next year. 🙂
Yea just use an air tag. Cheap and simple.
Awesome! Engineering is COOL!
0:27, That's my Dad!
AWESOME!
I wonder if this thing will screw up my garden like it’s commercial does to my Roku TV every time it comes on.
It plays intermittently, then when it’s finished my screen gets stuck on a 33% reload until I reset the tv.
I could avoid the product, but not the commercial.
What a fantastic product
"Gaaaather your children to your side, in the suuuun..."
will it edge a side walk
That’s pretty neat
Oh my goodness -- this is so very solarpunk! Would love to get our hands on one to give it a spin and a review video!
Now add a slug plugin
Get a duck... or would that be a turduckin?
good idea, a salt shaker would suffice
slugin
How does it not wander off if theres no mapping for it?
凄い 良いですね✨
I hope it's theft proof? Some type of GPS or passcode
Looking at my wife's hay covered garden like......don't think this will work.
Was it named after turtle
ITS JOE!!!
Hey sir this is d awesome project u made but what's weed sensor n how it works
What happens when it rains bro. Is this waterproof..
yeah it is
Sympathique
How turn it into a bigger one that’s covers 2-3 acres
What if you have big weeds
Get a cow.

Now make one that mows lawns. :P
Robot lawn mowers have been around a long time.
Louis TheNerd I have one.
Кто-нибудь скажет - поле картофельное она сможет прополоть? Я готов каждый куст проволокой огородить, лишь бы не полоть!
Wth I didn't even knew u exist and thats the name I put to mah turtle from yesterday night !
And this is 4 years ago
a fun gadget
可愛い
Hope someday it can navigate by GPS and not need a barrier.
It will never run on GPS. GPS is only accurate to 16ft for civilian use.
@@pleasantplacesfarm That used to be true, but a current GPS chip using the L5 signal is accurate to 11 inches. That said, GPS is too energy consuming; they'd be better off using some sort of solar-powered beacons placed at the edges.
icebraining - L5 is not being fully deployed until 2021 and is meant for civilian aviation. While I should not have said "never", I stand by my accuracy statement based on currently deployed GPS technology.
かわいいw
so cute : )
Price?
The list price is $349 - and right now there is free shipping. Here is the product page for more information:tertill.com/collections/tertill

So it cuts the weeds, meaning they will never go away because they will just keep going. Great idea
Well, if you're a human gardener, even if you pull the root, the weeds return after some time when their seeds land again. Having a robot do a task the human way is not efficient and vice versa. For example, do you wash your dishes manually by spraying them with hot water for an hour? This robot is supposed to be kept in the garden all the time, hence it can just cut the weeds every day.
The Tertill would be funny..... . . . if it was a joke.
Heaven forbid your 10x10 foot garden (which is pretty small actually) grows so much to shade the solar cells on turtle. Like all gardens will certainly do by early summer, or earlier. Unless, of course, you like a garden which is mostly bare dirt.....
Here is the proven analog solution to weeds: compost and mulch. And guess what, that is free. Toss your lawn cutting on your garden.
I imagine it's best for small flowers and tiny shrubs in a garden like that. I think it's actually a really cool idea.
Your analog solution only works for people who have lawns. Many of us don't, especially outside the US.
300$ O.O
Increased yield with less effort...
What is the value of time?
Lower maintenance garden with fruit to bear means fewer trips to the supermarket and healthier eating as well!
Robot lawnmowers can cost way more then that and can lead into thousands a solar powered robot for 350 bucks may sound high on paper but its darn good.
This things gettin stolen so easily just don’t buy it if you’re not in the right neighborhood
So far luckily we have not heard from customers who have had Tertill stolen. My guess is because most gardeners are good people :)
Да чушь, пацаны. Что это за логика - если высокий, значит сорняк, если низкий, значит нет? У вас там лебеда растёт в заграницах? А сныть? Сныть растёт? А у нас растёт.
Пока ваш красивый и умный гаджет будет искать в огороде зарядку, ночью наша сныть вырастет на полметра. В худшем случае, найдёт борщевик и зверски оплодотворит его. И, честно, ребята, я не завидую вашей Тортилле, подозреваю что она будет пестовать мутантов как родных детей, безжалостно уничтожая невинные томаты, картофель и прочие паслёновые.
И что дальше? Продовольственный кризис? Господство сныти и всеобщий голод? Конец цивилизации. Остановитесь, ещё не поздно! Еще только 21 июня 41-го года!
Nice idea, but i'd only invest if you weaponised it and gave it a pigeon's picture with instructions to KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL on sight!
cute but useless
The rumba is crap so i will just assume the same for this gimmick. silliness.
This is going to fail very badly. Why? Because it only cuts the weed. Therefore, it will re-grow in just a few days. The other thing is, it is useful only in gardens that haven't got any plants on, otherwise Tertill will just get stuck between a few plants. So I say, the ide is good to have a weed killer robot, but not like this.
They point out that constantly cutting a weed while it's small will kill it, because at some point the plant runs out of stored energy. In other words, the weed will never get "a few days" to grow.
Your point about its ability to be effective in a dense garden is a good one, however.
I'm more concerned about theft. It would be so easy to pick one up, jump in the car and drive away.
This is just an incredible lack of listening comprehension, Imre.
let me know when you build your own robot
@@ComprehensiveContext Do you anticipate a large resale market for these then? Or gardeners stealing from other gardeners?
If you never have to weed your garden, does it matter how it works?
