Initially, all I was trying to do was create a seedbed

I can see a need to actually use this machine to at least partially, if not
completely, uproot the grass,
which, if left to grow, will dominate much of the garden space.

The thing about this machine is that you can get out in the garden with it to
repetitively
remove weeds and keep the surface of the soil open, loose and aerated, until
time come to plant seed or starts.
This could be an extremely useful device for row croppers as well as raised
bed gardeners, for market production or
homestead use.
