I didn't realize how much work it is to put in a small 5'x8' garden! The
hardest part was stripping the sod and turning the big, heavy chunks of clay

Yeah, I remember putting in 2 4'x8' gardens when we lived near
Cincinnati...the clay was sooooooo heavy.

Not as bad here in northern Illinois. I have a big garden now, and I
use a little Mantis tiller to get it all done.
