Suggested tilling patterns
When preparing a seedbed, go over the same path twice in
the first row, then overlap one-half the tiller width on the
rest of the passes. See Fig. 5-5.
When finished in one direction, make a second pass at a
right angle as shown in Fig. 5-6. Overlap each pass for the
best results (in very hard ground it may take three or four
passes to thoroughly pulverize the soil).

If the garden size will not permit lengthwise and then
crosswise tilling, overlap the first passes by one-half a tiller
width, followed by successive passes at one-quarter width
See Fig. 5-7.
With planning, you can allow enough room between rows
to cultivate. See Fig. 5-8. Leave room for the hood width,
plus enough extra room for future plant growth.
