An acre and a half, you know that is more than 65,000 square feet dont you ? Something on the order of 218 feet by 300 feet, It can be done with hand tools, but youll have to spend more time than part time or limited scheduel, other wise you might consider herbicides, or plastics, or heavy mulch.

Hi all, I'm a new veggie farmer planning my first big season after tooling around for a while. I just joined and read some of the previous messages in this thread.

I'm in the wheel hoe market and considering both the Planet Whizbang and this one:
I'm also considering the ridiculously-priced one from Johnny's because it supports multiple widths and configurations. I'm planning to sow in beds with long rows 16" or 10" apart, depending on the crop. I haven't used a wheel hoe before, so if someone can tell me that I'm nuts to spend that kind of money and that I'll be fine without this particular tool, I'm all ears.
I'm planning 1.5 acres of plantings on a limited schedule, so it's possible that I'm that rare person for whom this is the right trade-off.
What do you think?

I would suggest:
for plans and parts to build your own wheel hoe for significantly cheaper. I believe I have about $110 into mine
