I have a 6' tiller that will chew up a 75'x25' garden in the matter of minutes. the only problem I have is I can't seem to tame the weeds. My soil is rather sandy but I've broken fresh ground with little time lost.
What tips do you have for preserving soil health as much as possible, while still getting an effective till?I'd be happy to try and answer any questions you may have...
Best tip for that is, don't try to get max tillage in one pass. Take gardens for example, on my own soil, I till one slower pass in the fall after everything is harvested, I then till one pass in the EARLY spring, and again one pass, more than a month later just before planting. I keep my ground speed up a bit on the last pass, so the soil isn't ground up.What tips do you have for preserving soil health as much as possible, while still getting an effective till?
