Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. You first question. Tillers. We never had a need for a tractor type tiller but had like a medium size garden or lawn tiller. About a six foot blades with a 12 horsepower engine. Used it in the yard and garden. Grandmother had a huge garden so we just used the field disc and tractor to tile her huge garden. Did a good job and saved time. Second question on contour farming. Oh yes. I am from Iowa and we contoured a lot of farm fields that were in hilly ground. Flat ground usually did not need it unless trying to control the water shed. But on the hilly ground we most often did some form of contour farming. Makes for a little more work but controls not losing the soil and control the water. Gina your area in the video looks really nice as you tilled it up. Your soil is so different than ours. Ours is a black loom type soil. Yours looks more like a sandy type soil from the pictures. Nice work Gina. Take care. The Iowa Farm Boy.
Thank you! We have tilled very large areas with the tractor tiller just saves time 😉 That’s cool that you are experienced with contour farming! And yes we have very Sandy soil. We are only 36 miles inland of the Gulf of Mexico. That’s why I add compost to my soil.
Glad to see you got 10-15 minutes of work from Hank.

I think Hank an Wiley planting the flowers for you would be priceless to see. Hahaha 😂 God bless
Now that would be hilarious 😂
Nice!
