oh on topic of renting a tiller

Craigslist can be your best friend when it comes time for tilling. I know that in my area alone, there are always at least a dozen or so ads for tilling services offered

We've had lots of discussions here about "To Till or Not to Till." I leave it to those gardeners who have enough space to actually consider the question, to make that decision.

By dint of creativity and deciding that a raised bed 2.5' x 8' in the middle of my roses was OK for veggies, I've brought a grand total of 96 square feet into cultivation.

No tilling here! :lol:

And, of course, as with any home service, be sure you get references before hiring anyone. In the Bay Area, several small-time (and a few big-time) criminal groups have operated via Craigslist: the first, honest-appearing person cases the joint; later, the others do the dirty deed, whichever it happens to be for that particular group (car theft? burglary? etc.).

So just make sure that someone who appears legit really *is* legit.

Happy gardening!
