Re: Tiller

Matt : My tiller goes 22", check AGGC site later & see Bill VanSchuppen's results for 2003, I tilled his & burnt clutch
out of my small tractor on first pass on my own garden & had to hire guy next door with regular tiller to do my
patch. Results are showing up as we speak, Bill's doing great , Best in 13 years to date, yes deeper tilling works
regardless weather its done by hand or machine. Just my option. Bill Van

Around the stump and along the main vine I like to till down 2
feet.  In these area's I use double dig techniques.  8" is
adequate around the rest of the plant.
