A small hand tiller may not be your best choice
considering the tree roots.

A small 3-point tractor with a tiller could work, but the space
is so small. This would be my 1st choice.

A day-laborer with an ax, etc. may be a MUCH better choice :-)

Unless you have mixed quite a bit of topsoil or compost into it, none of
the soil in that area rototills very well. We had to hand hoe until we
could get it loosened up and mix a bunch of loose material into it.

Are you on the clay, or on the rock? Do you have your own tiller, or
would you need someone to bring one?


put in a raised bed garden about 15 years ago, it was sort of topsoil,
most of the organic stuff is gone, but now has lots of tree roots in it,
they got trained over by water. I have no tiller, and the garden is 8 by
24 foot, not all of it needs to be done.
