Danielle is wanting to get her garden planted, so today she rented a tiller and I got to work on the gardens at her family’s house. Earlier in the day it had been covered by compost by her and her dad, and with the underlying sand all that it needed was a tilling.
I’d never actually used a rototiller, but it really wasn’t too bad. My arms and elbows are a bit sore from both keeping it moving and holding it back to prevent it from walking on the soil and not digging in. Beyond the 26′ circle shown above where the pool was, there was also another rectangular garden to be done, so I’m feeling a bit worn out.
Then, after the tilling there was anti-weed sheeting to lay, bricks to place, pavers to set, and her brother’s truck (which she’d borrowed to get the mulch) to wash. I’m pretty worn out. Hopefully I’ll still be able to get my bike wheel finished up before going for a test ride this evening.
