Aunty is looking for a Merry Tiller too, but Worzel tends to be a bit grumpy  :roll:

so aunty is getting a rotavator,thats just cus you want to get into the man shed for a good nose around  :roll:  :wink:

should go in an astra van nathan on its side unless you can drop the handles(you can on some types) then it will stand up.
feed the soil not the plants

No Shaun,  Aunty doesn't want a rotovator, just a 'merry' tiller, but he's turned out to be a bit grumpy sometimes - especially when he's tilling  :roll:

And Aunty needs no excuse to inspect the Equipment Shed, so keep it tidy  :!:
