Not exactly aboveground, but this worked well for me with some pretty big

Make a couple of passes down the future row with the rototiller so the
soil
is nice and soft;


BZZZT! Thanks, but our soil is heavy clay, and rototilling it just compacts
it more. I never had "nice and soft" soil when I tilled it; it was only
after I stopped tilling and started to build my own soil with organic stuff
did it finally become plantable. I did try carrots in it back when it was
only clay, and they looked like little radishes!
