Suggested tilling patterns
• When preparing a seedbed, go over the same path twice in
the first row, then overlap one-half the tiller width on the
rest of the passes. See Fig. 5-5.
• When finished tilling in one direction, make a second pass
at a right angle as shown in Fig. 5-6. Overlap each pass for
the best results. In very hard ground it may take three or
four passes to thoroughly pulverize the soil.
• If the garden size will not permit lengthwise and then
crosswise tilling, then overlap the first passes by one-half
a tiller width, followed by successive passes at one-quarter
width See Fig. 5-7.
• With planning, you can allow enough room between rows
to cultivate. See Fig. 5-8. Leave room for the hood width,
plus enough extra room for future plant growth.
