I usually only drag the little orange-lovely from the shed once (twice at the most) a year. When the early spring arrives and the ground is dry enough "we" chug up and down (with me hanging on) in order to have the soil finely minced, ready for raking and then, later on, sowing & planting.

It saves hours of forking through and lump bashing followed by heavy raking into level order. It certainly is a time saver as well as a joy to hear my dad's old Howard 200 pot-potting away for another year's outing.

I'm hoping it out lives me... every year it amazes me by coming out of hibernation yet again. After 45 years it's still (I hope) going well. The wonders of British engineering.... shame there's less of it about these days.  :mellow:

Never keep your wish-bone where your back-bone ought to be.
