Rotovators
Jane
I've managed to till sections of my plot in twenty minutes with the Mantis
with no back strain that would have been half a days digging and forking
through. Very easy and light to use. Half my reasoning behnd the
investment was that I could spend all my limited time digging and none of it
actually planting or enjoying life instead.
Well worth the investment and better for my back.

May I ask a naive question? I've never used a rotovator but having
recently been left begging for friends to help dig after my back went
out to lunch, I'd love to know if they strain backs as much as
bending/digging does. Also the lotties are full of flint, though the
actual soil is nice.
Shoulders I can cope with, just not the lower back.
