I hadn't realized how large rototillers are - I'm glad you mentioned it. Somehow I was picturing something about the size of a weed whacker that I could easily pick up in the van. Um...what can I say? I stoopid.
I've got a little 20 lb. tiller. It's good for tilling already established beds, not for digging new ones. Enter me and my trusty Tru-Value shovel.
