Trying to save money for a good sized tiller. Had one some years ago, but pretty much sold or gave away all my large-ish machines when I thought I was going to lose the house; well, I'm still in the house, but my tiller is gone. I think a tiller is what I need in order to turn under all the horehound weeds and make ready for some cover crop. I have just two acres, and not all of it is weed-infested poor soil - just the part around the house in front of all the windows (I have lots of windows), and the kitchen window view is the most depressing. Plow and repeat. Also thinking about putting up a simple hoop greenhouse. That is, after I cut down a path to it. I do not fancy wading knee-deep through thick horehound seed pods to get to the greenhouse.
I don’t till anything - too much work. Weeds I pull by hand, or smother them with cardboard or trash bags. Once smothered out, I’ll put down a layer of newspaper and cover that with the dirt of about 3-6” then plant my crop/cover crop.
