Well Steve, I did rent a tiller from HD yesterday to finally tackle a bunch of flower beds that have been untouched and overgrown for 7 years. Uuhhg! With so much neglect on my part there was a lot of roots running everywhere. I spent maybe 1-2 minutes tilling and about 7 minutes cutting off the roots that had wrapped around the blades. I did manage to make a dent in the overgrowth but my expectations were lowered on the volume of work I expected to get done. I think in my case I would be better off with even a much smaller tiller like a Mantis. Next weekend!

BTW $34 for 4 hours for their smallest "full-size" tiller.
