I have seen an advert for the above item and wonder if anyone knows of it
and could give an opinion.

I want to convert some of my back garden (lawn) to a vegetable plot. Most
of
the plot is quite stony.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Roy

I was given one by my mother who became to infirm to do any gardening.
It has the advantage that it is very light and the engine seems (so far)
reliable. However, it is so light it tends to scoot over the surface a bit,
and would struggle breaking hard compacted soil , stony soil or lawn, I
would guess. As a stirrer up of a fairly fine well aerated piece of soil it
is OK.
Like lots of garden machinery though, it hardly ever gets used. If you are
planning just a 1 off job, I'd hire something.
