Rough to fluff garden install

[spruce Deere]

Friend moved to a new spot. Him and his wife wanted a garden but the only place possible for that was infested with brush, rocks low cut stumps and small trees. Perfect for a box scaper, but I don't own one. So I show up with the 790, 3pt cultivator and the rock bucket. A few hours and I was haulin the cultivator home to trade for the tiller. I would have brought it to begin with but didnt think the ground would co-operate, it did. Here are befor and after pics.

Nice job and reminds me our place!

We went from forest to home site. The garden is in a spot that was clear but there's plenty of roots from surrounding trees and a few saplings. We live at Iron Hill so we do have a lot of rocks! Some is iron ore and the other, well not sure what kind of rock but it's heavy!

I just jumped on the Might B and went to town on the tiller. 1-2" the first pass and then each pass got deeper. I had piles of leafs that I'd raked onto the tilled area and 2 weeks later I till it all again. We are now starting to put out veggies.

Thanks theboman The pictures dont really show it, but there was no way I was gunna lower the tiller on this one without rip'n it deep just because of the rocks alone. I should have took a picture of all the roots and rocks collected. To take a patch of rough scrub to a clean, rock and root free productive garden is just plain enjoyable for me. Next step is deer fencing, or the whole garden idea is moot! Thanks again

Good job.
If the rain stops here, I plan to do the same with my corn, it will be a great test of the KK tiller to hit virgin soil. (no stumps tho)
