A garden tilling tool having a soil penetrating portion in the form of a tine. The tool may be formed with a single tine or a multiple tine tool in the form of a garden fork or the like. Each tine has an opening adjacent to the end thereof, or formed in the end thereof, attached to, or integrally formed with, the tool are fluid delivery means, including a coupler for connection to a garden hose or the like, a valve for selectively controlling the flow of water through the coupler from a pressurized municipal water source, through the opening into contact with the soil upon penetration of the tine. In an embodiment, a water passage manifold communicates with a jet tube having an open end in close proximate relation to the end of the tine for passing water through the tool at the point of contact with the soil. A water backsplash shield is provided on the tool adjacent the soil penetrating end, and is slidable to permit initial positioning near the bottom, with slidable upward movement of the shield as it makes contact with the soil during penetration by the tine.
