Using the Edger Attachment, Attachments

Section 4: Operation

Tilling Patterns

1.When preparing a seedbed, go over the same path twice in the first row, then overlap one-half the machine width on each successive pass (Figure 10).

2.After going up and down the rows in one direction, make second passes at a right angle across the original passes (Figure 11). Again, overlap each pass to thoroughly pulverize the entire seedbed area. In very hard ground, it may take three or four passes before the desired depth is achieved.

3.If your garden is not wide enough to till lengthwise and then crosswise, then first overlap by one-half the machine width, followed by successive passes at one-quarter machine width. This overlapping method assures thorough tilling.

Figure 10: Use an overlap technique on every pass.

Figure 11: Make a second set of passes at a right angle over the first set of passes.
