Compost Bin/tiller
by
Becky P
Got this used Mantis tiller at a yard sale for $15 recently. All it needed was a carburetor, which my husband stole off the gas blower. I took it to the compost bin, reducing it down to a manageable level. I can never get the compost to turn over with just a pitchfork, it is too heavy. I will admit, it was a mess, the tiller kept getting full and I had to keep the tines clean. But I am glad it did the job. BTW, this little baby is powerful in the veggie garden, too! I think it will outperform the medium & large tillers we have.

Boy do I understand! Congrats on our super find. Hubby bought one of these little gadgets a couple of years ago and anyone who plants, tills, or just wants to get the job done must have one of these! Good job!

Update: I am so glad I did this......I just spread the compost all over my garden, hoping it will make my tomatoes start growing faster!
