Rototillers create a hardpan, a layer of compacted soil, at the bottom

...leastwise that is what ya read in your eco-fringy blogs right?

and as for the worm mulch you so worry about , your chickens kill more
earthworms than that tiller will.

Some folks try not to
create one in the first place that is cheap and eco-warrior friendly.

As "MAY" fit your thinking, right? Change "will..." to "might..."
and you just might be correct, perhaps, maybe and yet, still never
be.

I find no fault with what Sheldon says here. The fat butt being
pulled along behind that tiller is going to compact that soil more
than those blades ever will in your little pea patch in the world.
Your world just doesn't fit mine BWP, regardless of how many times you
and Bro. bill tell me it must be so.

Too many variables that prohibit such an overly broad generalization.
