We used to use methyl bromide under plastic to kill
weeds for plant beds...went to black plastic after mb
was outlawed...we use the black plastic for the garden
as well..the grass comes up and dies from heat/no light
Have cleaned up tobacco fields with a Troy tiller,great
machine,tho one must be very,very careful when backing
it up with the tines turning.
I’m a day late and haven’t read the replies but I question why you would need a tiller for 900 square feet. My wife and I are in our 70s and turn our large garden with a pair of shovels, all 4,000 square feet of it. I have had 3 big Troybilts, a piece of crap Sears and I still have a small Troy Salad Mixer that I haven’t started it in 3 years. We were gardening on about 7,500 sf in 3 locations in those days.
