ting, 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.

Several years ago, I rotovated a large area of my pal's garden using his
"Merry Tiller" or some such rotovator. It was my first time use of such a
machine, after a short time getting used to it, I was amazed at the amount
of garden I had "dug" in such a short time. Of course this doesn't clean
out the grden but it certainly makes the job of cultivating or digging, so
much easier and quicker.

It depends very much on the type of soil you have, if it is light and
sandy then they are great.



The soil definitely wasn't sandy, and to my naive thoughts, just ordinary
slightly heavy garden soil :-)

The garden was near newport, Mon.
