What happens here

Attach a 48-inch tiller to the front of the Ventrac tractor. Drive the tractor carefully across the garden bed, performing an initial pass to till the soil. This process incorporates the finely shredded organic matter and any existing topsoil, aerating the soil and beginning the process of creating a loose, workable bed. The tiller has adjustable feet to control depth. The initial till is aimed at disrupting weed growth and integrating surface organic material.

Goal: Perform an initial shallow till of the garden bed to incorporate smaller organic matter and prepare the soil for further amendments and planting.

the garden turned out absolutely beautiful the rake raked up all that debris it did a super job I have a big pile of compost I imagine that will be hot in a couple days so that'll be good to put on our tomato plants and stuff as the summer progresses now this is the ventrac tiller it's a 48 inch tiller the ventrac is a little bit wider than the 48 inch tiller and this is my first time using it it has adjustable feet down here and we're going to get down in the ground and we're going to turn this soil up I'm not too sure how it's going to do with the extra set of tires on the side so most of the time when you're running the ventrac you don't have this extra tire out here but I think it'll do okay we're gonna till it this first time and let weeds take over we're going to let the chickens on to it let them eat all the weeds and dig through here and then we're gonna till it one more time before we plant the garden and we'll run through here with it row better to bed apart rows nicely so we'll have an awesome garden so let's check out the tiller
