Come See the Amazing Tilling Machine!

Here are some photos of the tilling process. As mentioned before, this was a lot of fun. My spouse did most of the tilling. I shoveled. We both sifted. Imagine 30 foot by 30 foot area. Imagine it 4 to 6 inches deep. Imagine lifting that amount of soil 4 feet in the air. That's basically what we did. Fun.

The first time...


The rototiller action is kind of like walking a large dog.

Tilling on the last day. Here you can see the rock.


Here's 30 x 30 foot area. Not so big.


We sifted out a lot of big rocks. We are starting to dump them in the driveway. We call the patches of rocks our little accidents because it looks like someone spilled a wheel barrow. They'll make a good base for when we can afford to put down a real driveway surface (most likely 5/8 minus crushed gravel).


Here are some photos of the beam transport process.
