Due to a bit of bad health, hopefuly short term, I am looking for ways to
keep the veg garden up to snuff without breaking my back or the bank, or
having others do it for me. I like to till it,sow it, grow it, cook it and
eat it, there is no other way although my cooking is probably a bit basic..
To help me I googled this,

I am asking for comments on the product or recommendations on similar
devices.

Using a cultivator is quicker but still bloody hard work. Don't image
it steers itself, you have to haul it round bends etc.
Also they don't go very deep. I f you have a light soil this may not
matter but in heavy soils it does. Most veg. preferrs free drainage.
