Thank you Mr. HUMBLE SERVANT. I did the same things you did except.....used the shovel to make my path and mound my beds. I used a hoe to make the path and pull the dirt on both sides of the mound. Later this year when it is time for fall crops, I certainly will be using the shovel to make my rows and mounds. You are a one stop shop.......you can do a lot of things on the homestead. Thanks for sharing. God Bless You!

If you get a chance, once your soil is broken up, trade that tiller for an older Troy-Bilt Horse model. That way you can put a hiller behind it and use it to mound up your rows. I've been using one for nearly forty years, and they really save labor,.

There's a easier way to farm with the area that you're using to farm on, if it was grass already there and I don't know if you did your soil sample but just assuming that you did your soil sample and the nitrogen is not all the way balanced or soil was hard, laying cardboard on it then compost on top of the cardboard add some water for moisture then 2 inch of wood chips that's been grated let it sit for the time it needs to sit for when you're going to do the next season planting and you won't have to till you just take a break and go right through the shredded wood chips with a stick to make your line for planting and with the fruit trees you do the same method but only using whole word chips around the fruit trees roots and that keeps moisture and so you won't even have to water your garden that much and you definitely won't have to tilling this is the back to Eden method with Paul Gautschi and I've been studying the back to Eden method for a while and it is the best method, so much easier way of growing food its the same method that you see in the rainforest and in the bush no one tills the ground out there and naturally fruit trees grow without anybody tilling the ground and actually vegetables grow without anybody breaking up the ground cuz when you break up the ground your actually destroying the nitrogen and all the good bacteria in the soil. I have land in Africa virgin land and I have mango trees growing and I have other vegetation including herbs edible vegetation and nobody has tilt the land ever far as my knowledge, it's a better way I in coach people to go on KZfaq and look this man up and check out his method one thing I will say doing the vegetable gardens you don't need the large wood chips you just need the shred wood chips or mulch over top of your compost.
