I needed to see this! I have been doing it by hand and using wood chips in between the rows to add organics to my dead soil and keep the walking rows more suitable for working from.

[@ronniebrashear5633]

How do you connect the wood to the tiller ?

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

When you watch the video you will see if you look close the metal flap behind the tiller is sandwiched between a 2x6 and a 4x6 screwed into the angle 2x10s. I used timber screw to hold this. I also use a chain to the top of the 3 point to support some of the weight

[@elky4x4]

Do you ever have issues with the sides bending out

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

I haven’t noticed any, the form isn’t plowing the dirt, the tiller lifts and fluffs, the hiller form just holds it in place. I will also add that the dirt in this garden is fairly light. Clay soil will be a different story

[@FlatCreekOutdoors]

Just what I needed to see! I'm going to be giving this a shot. Thanks!

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

This has worked out well for me, real saver when you get slammed with rain, send me a link after you build it, would love to see a video

[@tobycooley8891]

Pretty slick, Joe! Two thumbs up!

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

Thanks Toby!

[@daveholmes123]

Really cool idea, thanks for sharing 😉

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

Thanks!

[@carlboehm3858]

Puttin' dirt where you want it in one step ... I like it.

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

A whole lot easier than the rake!

[@jimschlaugat6475]

Simple I like it.

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

Thank You

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Darn that work great

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

Yes, I have been super pleased!

[@802louis]

Nice job 👍

[@wolfsburgspeedshop955]

Raised rows for gardening bros! Look for “MacGyver gardening” from Youngblood press, wherever you buy your e-books!

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

We can do most anything with some boards and screws!

[@carlboehm3858]

@@YoungbloodFamilyFarm isn't that why we have all those piles of "stuff" our wives hate ... I just built a goat milking stand out of scrap from my "collection" ... (Video to come)

[@metaltension]

Nice video

[@chrispileski6640]

How does the wood attach to the tiller? I suffer from low, wet spots in parts of my garden too.

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

The back of the tiller has a swinging steel plate that widens as it approaches the ground (imagine a dovetail), I sandwich this plate between 2 boards with timber screws, so it cannot slide off since the plate gets wider

[@myminifarm5700]

Real nice

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

Thank you

[@villagelifesitapur9262]

Nice

[@Ootabaavicinema]

I didn’t get one thing. How did you attach this hiller to the rota tiller ? Sorry for my ignorant question.

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

Right around the :52 mark, if you look close, the metal flap on the back of the tiller get sandwiched between the “hiller” and a top board. They are lag screwed together. The rear flap is tapered in such a way that the board will not slide off

[@Ootabaavicinema]

Yb Family Farm got it sir

[@danrhomberg1663]

Here's origional that I can tell... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWPTkIOVaLaFobc I love how youtube folks share ideas in their videos and get it out there for us. I saw your comment on the origional(I thought) video making this and the guy stating "I'm not going to patent this. I'm sharing it with y'all"(VW Family Farm)...And then I find it again on a very abstract video 8 years earlier. Amazing!...lol. I wonder if this was the origional creator or not...who knows, but again, thanks for a version a smidge different from origional. God Bless!!!

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

Ha, I do remember VWs video and the one you shared, I figure any great idea out there I’m going to copy and use, that’s why I share. May not try to sell it but I’m sure going to copy it. This hiller has been a real help in our garden protecting us from those real heavy rains

[@Seth10010]

Cheater!

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

Cheating never felt so right!
