The Rototiller From Hell...

To get the weeds off of our plot, we decided to rent a rototiller. We thought that it would be a nice, fast way to jump start our plot and get it ready for growing - WRONG!! Boy, was that one of the worst ideas I have had in a while!! Just everything about that day went wrong. First the stupid thing kept leaking gas and it kept stalling! Then the ground was too hard and it wasn't tilling (it was my bright idea not to wet it before hand...)!! Also, I couldn't even hold the dumb thing so Lennin tried all by himself and it was pulling him all around! Haha (well, its funny looking back on it but it wasn't very funny then!!). Then when we went to go take it back, all the weeds were SO tangled into the blades that we couldn't get them out. It was like a giant matted ball of weeds! We spent almost 45 minutes trying to get the weeds off the blades and finally gave up. All in all, it was a waste of three hours, and we pretty much had to go back and do it all by hand!! Horrible....
