Bob: I've been growing vegetables for 50 years and never owned a roto tiller. I've seen a lot more soil structure damaged with roto tillers than conventional tillage. I grew potatoes and rutabagas commercially plus a garden of other vegetables.

I once had a neighbor call, home gardener and he owned a walk behind rear tine tiller. He told me he could see my garden and how much better it was than his. He wanted me to plow and disk his garden, as he had a real compaction problem. I plowed it about 10" deep then disked it, disking down some organic matter he had. When I was done, in my opinion it was ready to plant. He then spent half the day on this with his tiller.

Later that summer he suggested his soil was packed hard, almost like concrete. I said, "you created the concrete that is your problem. Industry manufactures concrete by grinding the right soil mix to a dust, you did the same with the tiller. When the rain hit it you had a poor quality concrete." I told him to shove the tiller over a cliff.

The legs of inside calipers are curved outward at the extremities to facilitate measuring small holes, while outside caliper legs have a large curve inward to increase their capacity for large work. Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo ... [Read Article]
