In an effort to save a little bit of gas to get my garden ready for planting potatoes with in the next week or so, I have come up with an idea.
I plant my potatoe rows 5.5 feet apart, center to center. That gives me enough room to take a garden tractor and cultivators or tandem disk through to do the weeding. Garden is about 50’ long by 30’ side. So, I figure I can get four 50’ rows in this space. This will give me room for the weeding in between the rows and edges of the grass to the row. So the gas saving idea is, I will only till the 4 rows where I will plant potatoes. Tiller is 3’ wide. So that means I will till 12’ instead of 30’.
What do you all think ?
