How deep ya digging? I got a small Ryobi tiller that scratches the
surface down
to 3-5"

My Mantis will go down 11" or so if I work an area thoroughly.

I solved my tiller problem yesterday. Found a guy who will do JUST what
I
need for $70-$100, which beats buying or renting a tiller.

No it doesn't, nothing beats having a good tiller handy when you want it
or
need it.

Maybe for new garden creation, but unless you trample the soil in your
existing beds, you shouldn't need a tiller to loosen the soil each year.
Now..having said that, I will include the fact that my vegetable gardens
have never been larger than about 30x30 ft, easily manageable with a fork.
