Tilling hints
TUling is digging into, turning over and breaking up packed
soilbefore planting. Loose, unpacked soilhelps root growth.
Best tilling depth is4=to 6".
Soil conditions are important for proper tilling. Tines will not
readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may contribute to
excessive bounce and difficult handling of your tiller. Hard
soil should be moistened before tilling: however extremely
wet soil will"ball-up" orclump dudng tilling. Wait untilthe soil
is less wet in order to achieve the best resuHs.
For easier handlingof your tiller leave about8 inchesof
untilledsoilbetweenthefirst and secondtillingpasses. The
thirdpasswillbebetweenthefirst thensecondandetc.(fig.
12).
Do not lean on the handle. This takes weight off the wheels
and reduces traction. To get through a really tough section
of sod or hard ground, apply upward pressure on handle or
lower the depth stake.
