Section 4: Operation
Tilling Patterns
1.When preparing a seedbed, go over the same path twice in the first row, then overlap
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
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.
USING THE EDGER ATTACHMENT
The Edger Attachment makes clean, sharp edges next to walkways, driveways, paths, planted areas, patios, etc. See Assembly Steps, STEP 4: in Section 2 for instructions on attaching this attachment.
Take your time when edging. Decide how far away the edge is to be from the walk or drive, then slowly proceed using the walk or drive as your sight line.
Other attachments are can be purchased separately. See Attachments below for more details.
