We had to hand hoe until we could get it loosened up and mix a bunch of loose material into it. Are you on the clay, or on the rock? Do you have your own tiller, or would you need someone to bring one? |

I have no tiller, and the garden is 8 by 24 foot, not all of it needs to be done. |

A small hand tiller may not be your best choice
considering the tree roots. A small 3-point tractor with a tiller could work, but the space is so small. This would be my 1st choice. A day-laborer with an ax, etc. may be a MUCH better choice :-) Gene "biggus" wrote in message ...

I have no tiller, and the garden is 8 by 24 foot, not all of it needs to be done. Need to build in some method of drainage, in any event. If it were my project, would remove the perimeter soil restraints. Place the soil in a pile adjacent. Cut out the roots as I dug. Possibly put the raised garden in another location. -- Noncompliant |
