I have a Troy cultilvator. I used to mix the beds. I can lift it in and It did pretty good except the dry old leaves the DIL tossed in. Son had dumped in the Horse fert and ground was tilled before the frames were down. He layed the frames on that and they added. We had the bigger rocks out before the frames were layed . One bed is about 85 % small stones. Too many to plant anything in. I tried to sieve out but too slow with what I could get. It sure stired it up. I am just learning to use it. It went deeper then he had tilled I guess. This lot use to be apts and I guess that bed in drive or path. Other three are not too bad for big seed like corn and beans. I am trying to make one for root crops. This cultivator does not work like a tiller. It does really dig.
