Okay I'm back from church. We had a Sunday school picnic today. I brought stuffed sweet banana peppers and stuffed jalepenos we grew, along with a bowl of grape, cherry, and pear tomatoes. Wife made a couple tomatoe pies and a pasta salad. Now back to the tiller. Some of my vegatables have played out for the season(letttuce, beets, turnips, radishes, swiss chard, potatoes,arugala, onions, califlower etc) so I tilled that row under planted another crop, usually green beans, big demand for them this year. This is were I ran into a couple of issues that I actually expected. The 16 inch tires on the tiller will sometimes let it "high center" on the gear case and you will need to help it along. I sold all my cabbage and when I decided to till under the row and replant I went down both sides of the row very close and this chopped the remaining leaves very well, but when I turned to go down the center to catch the cabbage stalks she struggled to get over them. Not a lack of power, just needed more ground clearance maybe from taller tires. The second issue was over in the potatoe row. I dug most of the row with a pickfork and the vines were just laid to the side. When I tried to till them under(the vines) they would "rope up" in the tines and have to be cut out with a knife. The same thing happened with tall weeds, foxtail, crabgrass, etc the tiller will not "chop" them. You'd be better off taking them out of the garden into a compost pile.
