  My tiller died five years ago (it was around 25 years old) and I never got around to buying another one. I have decided I am better off with a broad fork and my Valley Oak wheel hoe than with a tiller. I am not constantly replanting weed seeds and the soil seems to be gaining fertility. I also have a couple of Planet Junior wheel hoes that must be close to eighty years old.

  I hear you about the critters. We have a farm in northern middle TN that borders a river so we definitely have critters. I try to leave the racer and black snakes alone but the copperheads are always open season. I might do what you did if it pissed me off enough though. My husband has been retired for a few years but I still have a year or two left. I’m glad I found you channel, it’s nice to see someone with experience who wants to share and help the younger generation. I am tiered of seeing people who have been farming or homesteading for a year or two and telling everyone how to do it, just a pet peeve of mine.

  We always have some critters, but this year has been crazy. I can’t even imagine living around a river the problems you guys are having. I have the same policy with poisonous snakes, with small grandchildren running around I really don’t think there is much choice. As a newly retired person (under a year) I have to say it’s a major change which I seem to be failing, I work harder now then I ever did going into the office…LOL. I really appreciate you saying that, there are way too many people who are interested in making money on You Tube instead of trying to pass down good information.

  Make sure the 3-point hitch is setup so it goes as deep as possible and the middle buster is angled (again the adjustment is on the 3-point hitch) so the tip of the sweep goes into the soil first.

  Thanks, you are correct. We have both the 8 and the 12-inch stirrups for the Hoss wheel hoe, the whizbang is a little smaller maybe around 7 inches. I bought the 12 first and went back later and got the 8-inch (the 12 will wear you out when working with it for long periods in the heat). If used frequently you can’t beat the wheel hoe for weeds.

  i bought a middle buster this year and completed in 30 minutes what took us a few days to do last year. i make big hills to plant in as our soil drainage still needs improvement. planting sensitive crops in the center of the hills really seems to save plants from big dumps of water. i suspect furrows provide the opposite advantage in dry climates. it's an interesting way to garden or farm at these scales.

He and his successors dug up the bottles at intervals over the decades and found that even 130 years later, some weed seeds were still viable.

  The part I don’t understand is how the stirrup hoe/wheel hoe doesn’t cause the same issue as a tiller with basically planting more weed seed by disturbing the ground.

• 
  @PossumRidgeFarms2 ай бұрын

  Great question!!! The wheel hoe cultivates at a level just below the surface of the soil thus disturbing much less soil. Because you are pushing If you start to go too deep you will know it by increased resistance. With a tiller you can go too deep and never know it until your weed pressure increases. We have used both methods and for us the wheel hoe is a better long-term method for weed reduction. Thanks for watching
