    I must be the only guy in the world that uses a tiller by moving it in reverse. I’ve had the best results that way. Going forward I’m only able to scratch the surface but pulling it in reverse while it fights to go forward has really worked for a deeper dig.

      @yousifsaid5 4 роки тому +4

      I like using it in reverse as well. I even yank it while tilting up and it digs really deep really fast

      I was thinking that I was the only one.
      And I am left handed so apparently I do everything backwards anyway.

      I came to youtube to see how your suposed to use them because pulling it "backwards" felt so wrong, it works so well though, I watch everyone use theirs on the allotments and then look at the tilths and think i must be the only one here that gets how to use them, it doesn't get excited and start jumping on the first couple passes either and takes far less time to work your ground overall too,
      I thought you were meant to drag them like a plough so that's what I been doing but nobody else did it and it was starting to make me think I was being a tool

    The ground you are tilling looks very similar to mine, hard and compacted. I saw a few other tutorials that recommend pickaxing first and removing the unwanted growth, but I thought that was the whole idea of tilling, to NOT have to do that. How did you remove the churned up unwanted grass and weeds to ensure it didn't grow back?

    • @danielkluegel9352
      @danielkluegel9352 4 роки тому +2

      Depending on your soil you don't have to pick it all the way down but scalping the grass off is preferable. If you leave grass it's kind of a constant battle the first season to keep it from coming back.
