First "walk" the tiller over to the work
area. To do this, lock the depth bar out
of the way, set the throttle in the slow
position, place the control lever in the
forward position and maintain a light
upward pressure on the handles. Your
tiller will "walk" over the top of theground
without the tines entering thesoil.

If the garden is turned over in the Fall,
the soil should be finely pulverized in
the Spring. A finely pulverized seed
bed is essential for germination. Spring
is the time to work in humus. Six
bushels per hundred square fee't and a
complete garden fertilizer at the rate of
four pounds per hundred square feet
is recommended.
Just before planting the seeds, finely
pulverize the soil and make a smoothbed.
Plant your seeds as instructed on the
seed packet then cover them lightly
with fine soil. You normally cover the
seed with 3 times the width of the
seed. On flower seeds, the soil can be
sifted through an old window screen.
Tamp the soil gently. You must have
contact between the soil and the seed.
The seeds must have water to germi-
nate. Use a fine spray to prevent
washing out the seeds. The larger the
plants you are planting, the deeper you
should till.
