Bedder/hiller fabrication

[DaveOmak]

Thanks for all the great ideas guys!

When I till I usually run back and forth several times and I'm wondering how the wings would affect that?

Rob, morning... I usually do all my tilling, sub-soiling, fertilizer additions prior to bolting on the wings... I have made multiple passes with the wings attached and the raised bed just keeps getting taller... For me an 8" raised bed is about right considering it compacts over time to about 5".
Getting that height usually takes 2 passes... By all means experiment with it... You might wake up in the middle of the night with an idea for an attachment that puts you in a higher tax bracket....

By the way... I have a new digital camera on its way... we live so far out in the sticks, computer shopping is the only way to get a selection.. Next week I will have more pics of the tiller and even some of the raised beds...(if I can figure out how to use the new point and shoot $70 camera)

Just curious what you are planting in your food plots that requires furrows?

Me too--why dig furrows in a food plot? Sounds more like the OP wants to turn his food plot into a vegatable garden

Here is an addition, to my first post, on my hiller fabrication attachment to my tiller...

The wing shows how I narrowed the width of the raised bed to accomodate the tractor to drive down the bed again.

The raised bed... It has garlic planted in it and I chopped some straw to cover for the winter..
one of these days I will post how I built my "straw chopper" when I get the bugs worked out....

Yes, my food plot is vegetables. I always thought a food plot was basically a large garden. Ours is about 100 x 80 for one plot and another couple of smaller plots.
