Gosh, I'm so glad that are other quilting gardners out there. I just sent after my new tiller. Sold my old one last year, bought a Mantis, it didn't do it for me , so am back into a large tiller. I live by myself but can't wait to get back into the soil. We (kids/gr.kids) eat out of the garden year round. Weird, but I also do most of my quilting during the summer.
