I am about to start a good sized plot for a three sisters garden - about
60'x40'. The soil is a loose sand with a bit of loam. It currently has
a good cover of annual rye grass. As my husband runs off to find a
motorized tiller to prepare the ground I am wondering if there is a low
tech version of a tool that could do the job? I've heard about the
Glazer wheel hoe being able to do some light cultivation with a plow
attachment. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this, or
any suggestions? what tools would work to cultivate a plot this size?
I could do it with a shovel... but that would take a bit longer than I
am hoping to get it done in.
Thanks,
Marjory
