You Can Even Control Depth.
For Deeper Tilling:
Move your Tiller slowly back and forth, as
you would a vacuum cleaner. Work the same
area over and over until you’ve dug to your
desired depth. (Picture 3)
For Shallow Tilling:
Switch the tines to the cultivating position.
(See page 16 to learn
how.) Then move your
Tiller quickly over your
soil surface.
For Big Weeds or
Tough Roots:
Let your Tiller rock
back and forth over
the tough spot, until
the tines slice through
the weed or root.
