Recently, I purchased a little Troy-bilt "Tuffy" tiller. Never having used a tiller, and believing the advertisements, I trotted it out to the front lawn, intending to create small gardening strips on either side of the front walkway.
I erroneously thought that one simply pressed a button to start the machine and then happily (and effortlessly) tilled away to create beautiful garden beds. What a dummy! LOL.
When they say, "two-finger operation," they must mean that you can do that if the ground has been previously tilled.
Trying to till up the grass was a man's job, so I called in DH for reinforcements. The city-boy doesn't know any more about tilling than I do, and even he had a rough time of it.
Should we have tried to remove the grass before attempting to till?
And, if so, is there a tool that helps to remove the top layer of grass on a lawn?
I could use some help. I'm in the dark here. Thanks!
Jean
