I also have a little Joe tiller think of it great for many jobs here

 

[Sally PB]

I'll be tilling my heavy soil garden this fall, after everything is out of there. It needs a LOT of organic matter, and it's going to get some wood chips when we have some trees taken down. It's a rear tine tiller, and it's a workout in that garden.

In my sandy soil garden, using the tiller is just a slow walk.

Got one Silver. It's like trying to cultivate with one of those old vibrating machines that people used to stand on, wrap the belt around their butts and turn it on. Or a bad massage bed. At least it is for me when I use it. DH uses mine to till my garden for me. He says the more dirt you try to move, the worse it is.

This year he plowed the garden with our tractor and single blade plow and then he used the little Ace Hardware tiller on it. I did a little tilling with it and I didn't think it bucked as bad as it usually does so that may be the ticket for it.

guess I'll find out, we'll see if not storage and knees

The pictures are gorgeous, Veelee. I forgot to comment about them.

DH and I were married in Casa Grande almost 15 years ago next year. It's beautiful there and we loved it to the point that we seriously thought about retiring there and then DH started having problems with skin cancer and regretfully had to decided that Arizona would have too much sun for him.

I would still love to get back there sometime.
