This article gives ideas about creating the perfect summer garden in small spaces. Once you have evaluated the pros and cons of the site, you can consider the possibilities for change. One of the advantages of gardening on a tiny scale is that you can make alternation that would be prohibitively expensive in a larger garden. You can erect a new fence or wall, remove existing plants or, as discussed, change the entire soil in a flowerbed.

Makes green thumbs greener
I really am happy with the Ryobi tiller! I have heavy clay soil and it is backbreaking work to turn the garden with a spade. Plus the clay turns hard as a rock when it doesn’t rain for weeks. Enter the Ryobi tiller and a load of compost and peat and the clay soil is turned into wonderfully rich soil in no time flat! In 30 minutes I tilled an area 18′ x 12. I then was able to add more compost and retill it again in only 10 minutes. Instead of chunks of solid clay, I now have fine crumbly soil loaded with organic material. I’m adding more planting areas this season thanks to this little 4 blade tiller.
The tiller did not need extra weight, although you can add sand to make it heavier and dig deeper, faster. I found the unit dug in easily without the extra weight to a depth of 10 inches and it probably can go a few inches deeper if I unlatch the wheels. It was a little hard to start the very first time and I’ve learned to add a few more pumps to prime the carburetor. The choke resets itself. Be sure to not let the engine run out of gas because it will be harder to restart (unless you are running the tank dry for storage). Restarting when it is still warm is easy.
It is light enough for me to carry around the 1.5 acre yard with one hand if needed, but it has wheels and I think even older people will be able to move and control it easily compared to larger tillers. The lightness makes it easy to lift into a raised bed.
There is also an electric model, but I passed on it because I knew my heavy clay soild might cause the circuit breaker to trip often under load. The gas engine never balks and has all the power you could need. Also I think it would be a hassle to keep avoiding cutting the power cord, which is another reason to think twice about the electric model.
I looked at 3 or 4 other tillers that were more expensive, but I’m 100% happy I bought this tiller and saved myself at least a hundred dollars.

Good for soft soils
I too, bought this for use in hard clayey soil, only to be disappointed. If you try to till more than 2″ deep of hard soil you will have difficulty. Once I learned a technique to using it I was able to go faster, but this is still slow, it only does an area of about 0.25 square foot a time. A 400 sq ft garden 6″ deep would take about 4800 back straining tries. I would not buy one again. Since I have this, I will make use of it yearly to till the softer dirt in my established gardens and flower beds.
I am big and strong, and to insert it into the ground I had to first jump up and down on it. Once it was in the ground I tried to turn the handle to no avail, and I think I actually bent it slightly. As I said, till only a couple inches of hard soil at a time to avoid difficulty.
If you have a large hard area you need to till, use the money to rent a power cultivator instead or just use a shovel. It will be much faster and easier.
So Helpful
This tool was so easy to use on my HARD ground. It made quick work of the task. I just love it and highly recommend it!
Garden Weasel Digs Through the Garden
I love the garden weasel. I don’t have to kneel down to turn over my garden before planting. I also use it after the plants are growing to loosen the weeds and easily pick them out.
