Building a Home Vegetable Garden

Posted by Homer on July 7th, 2008 — Posted in Gardening

Everybody likes fresh vegetables straight from the garden but most of us don’t want to do the work to start and maintain vegetable garden. The hardest part is digging up the fresh ground in your lawn but it has to be done. A garden tiller is a great tool but it can be awkward to use and separating the sod from the soil still requires manual labor.

Customer Reviews

wow, tough little machine- A+5
Hi- I’m not sure what issues the others have had with this machine, but it’s awesome. I’ve been using the one I bought new for about 3 years now at my home and honestly it’s been worked hard and a little abused… but it works as well as brand new. I use it to clear raw land by helping dig out roots, to help grade soil, to make new garden space, etc. My neighbor has seen the results & asked me where I got it. The only negative I can see is the lack of available attachments- I’d like to see an aerator, edger & dethatching attachment for it.

Yard Machines 121 Cultivator1
I placed an order for 1 Yard Machines 121 Cultivator and received 2. I sent 1 back. I opened the shipping box and found it had no back wheels as shown in the advertisement, on the shipping box, and on the instructions inside. I called Amazon and explained the situation and they said they would send me another. Well, they did. Exactly the same. It had an 8″ roller instead of the two wheels as advertised. I returned that one too. Amazon did return my money. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS TRANSACTION.

mini rotor tiller5
I can’t review it yet because it is winter here and we haven’t been able to use it. I am sure we’ll love it. Friends own one and they convinced us we need to purchase one for ourselves.

Garden Tiller Maintenance

 Garden Tiller Maintenance

by Mike D Tucker

Well it is that time of year again and you are getting ready to plant your garden. As you dig your garden tiller out of the corner of the garage you notice it is full of cobwebs. Looks like you will have to perform some garden tiller maintenance.

 So what sort of maintenance do you have to do before starting up your garden tiller for the first time? A lot has to do with the way you prepared your garden tiller for the winter storage. If you drained the fuel or added Sta-Bil to the gasoline you are in better shape than most people.

First it is always recommended that you follow the manufactures guidance. This procedure should be used as a general guideline.

 The first thin I always do is give my garden tiller a good washing to get the dust off of it. Next for safety I pull the spark plug wire off. If you did not drain your fuel you will have to now. The best way is to remove the fuel line from the tank and let it drain outside away from anything electrical. Including your cell phone.

Some carburetors have a spring loaded drain on the bottom of the float bowl. If yours has one hold a rag underneath the drain and press in letting the gas drain into the rag. If you have an inline fuel filter it should also be checked or replaced at this time.

 Next you will want to clean the air filter. Your garden tiller operates in dusty conditions so it is very important to keep your air filter clean. If you garden tiller has a 2 stage filter remove the both and tap the paper inner filter on the ground to shake out any dirt. Take the foam outer filter and wash it with soap and water. Let it dry thoroughly the re-oil it. Placing it in a plastic bag and adding a little light motor oil, work it into the foam and remove can do this.

 Now we move on to the spark plug. Remove it and replace it with the same number that is on the old one. Make sure you check the spark plug gap and set it before re-installing. Most are pre-set from the manufacture but it never hurts to check. You should also place a small amount of ant seize compound on the threads of the spark plug before installing. 

 Make sure you do not have any gasoline or oil anywhere on your garden till that you may have spilled while working on it. If you do make sure it is completely cleaned off before attempting to start your motor. You can now re-connect you spark plug wire.

 Add fresh fuel and check your oil level. Check for leaks. If everything looks good your garden tiller is ready to fire up. Start it and let it warm up. Shut it off and double check for leaks and oil level. If everything looks good your garden tiller is ready for use.

Garden tiller5
The tiller arived in good shape. I started it and it ran
fine. I haven’t used it yet, but I have great expectations.
The tiller tines can rotate in both directions which
is what I wanted.

The area I have to till is like concrete. This tiller just went through it with no effort at all
