Don't know if something like this has been posted here but thought this was pretty neat. A tiller hiller.

@Jancoe I made a lame attempt at something like that a little while ago. Amazing how fast the big tractor tills!

It worked for me pretty good though

Hello all, I thought I’d join the conversation and show you our garden so far. We’re a little late this year. We had a cold wet spring, but now we should be able to go.

I worked up the seed bed with our 41 Farmall M and Ferguson disc.

I haven’t got back the cylinder on the 648 yet and a few other items have come up that will have to be looked at, but nothing that will stop it from being useful. I put the steaks for the deer fence in with it. It worked great! Sure saved a lot of pounding with a sledgehammer

Then the fence went up. It’s chicken wire with a top strand of fishing line.

It’s kind of hard to see in the picture, but that’s the idea. The theory is the wire is small enough and a deers eyesight is poor enough at night when they are browsing that they can feel the fence but can’t see where it ends so they don’t jump it.

Does it work? Well Better Homes and Gardens won’t be stopping by to take pictures anytime soon, but this is the 3rd year I’ve used it and deer haven’t gone inside the perimeter yet.

So far we’ve planted 4 types of tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeños, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, bush beans, cantelope, cucumbers, okra, sweet corn, watermelons, and potatoes.
We’ll put in some pumpkins next month. That will leave us with a little space left for something else.

That’s where we’re at, I hope you all are having good gardening this year!

We fenced the same way only our top stand was electric, it worked.

Good idea using a hot wire. If they ever figure this out that’s what I’ll start using!

There's a lot of blowing and snorting the first few nights, but they get it figured out.

LOL. I’d enjoy hearing a little blowing and snorting! Last year we had our cantelope planted outside the fence and they destroyed every on of them!

Gotta get that scythe out and cut the rye. It's up to my chest in places and taller than our toddler.
