Tilling Tips& Techniques Let the tiller dothe work • While tilling, relax and let the wheels pull the tiller along while the tines do the digging. Walk on the side that is not yet finished (to avoid making foot- prints in the freshly tilled soil) and lightly, but securely grip the handlebar with just one hand.
Page 15
Tilling Tips& Techniques Clearingthe tines The tines have a self-clearing action which eliminates most tangling of debris in the tines. However, occasionally dry grass, stringy stalks or tough vines may become tangled. Follow these proce- dures to help avoid tangling and to clean the tines, if necessary.
Page 16
POWERCOMPOSTING Power composting simply means tilling under and burying in the soil all manner of organic matter such as crop residues, leaves,grass clippings and cover crops. This material will decompose during the non-growing season and add important natural nutrients to the soil. When power composting, do not keep the Depth Regulator Lever at a deep setting if the tiller jumps or bucks.
