Never till very deep,for grass. Remember,you'll have to walk or ride on
it, when you cut in 3 to 5 weeks. If you go deeper than 1 inch with a
tiller,it won't support traffic without making ruts.

The best prep machine for bare soil(other than a rock hound) is a
dethatcher. You rent it,beat it to death,hose it off and return it.

It will turn most soil into fluff,if it's dry.


I have a dethatcher blade for the lawmower(not sure if it works on this
newer mower I have yet) . I used it once for the front lawn few years
ago. It basically just took all the grass out down to the dirt. I was
trying to get rid of the moss in the grass. How do you feel about the
blades?

I've never used them but from when I've seen customers use them,they were
too invasive on the desirable turf. I'd say test it on a small area,before
you go over the whole lawn.
