The freezing cold of the winter is almost a distant memory and as the soil starts to warm p. it's time to start thinking about getting vegetables plots cultivated and tidied in preparation.

If you are looking to buy a tiller / rotovator to help with weeding and maintaining your vegetable garden or allotment, you may have arrived here looking for help and advice about machinery.
Using a machine to carry out the harder work goes against the grain for some gardeners who might believe that double or single digging and weed control using a hoe is the only way, both environmentally and from a soil condition perspective, to prepare or maintain soil.
Are you planning to grow some vegetables this year? If you are then you have two choices; dig the plot over by hand or employ mechanical means to turn the soil over.
