I’m the same way. I love thinking how things were first thought into existence. Most things are thought up by the common man who is doing the work and trying to find a better more efficient solution to fix a known problem. The old saying that “Necessity is the mother of all inventions. A show I used to watch a lot was a show called “How’s It Made”. The one episode I remember was an episode on the evolution of nails. The Romans were the first culture who “mass produced” iron nails for attaching and securing wood building materials. Roman blacksmith slaves could make about a dozen three sided nails 3 inches long in a full day’s work. Then they toured a modern nail factory where a machine spit out hundreds of thousands an hour. Simply amazing what technology can do. I’m a commercial Sheet Metal worker (Union Tradesman). Almost 30 years-I turn 55 next year and I’m retiring. When I first got in the trade we would have to stretch 2 to 300 feet of extension cords to run our power hand tools. Cords would get pulled out of the plugs, cords all nicked from getting ran over. As an apprentice I would have to go climb down the scaffolding walk through 12 inches of mud and plug a cord back in hoping not to get electrocuted in the process. I remember the first cordless drill the company bought. They only bought one and of course the foreman kept it all to himself even though he wasn’t working with his tools. Man it was awesome getting that first cordless drill and not having to mess with all the extension cord hassle. Now when my battery goes dead I make the apprentice run back to the gang box to get a fresh battery. They bitch and moan about being a gopher. I tell them “you have no idea about how hard I had it, I tell them at least you’re not dragging 2 to 300 feet extension cord. Fast forward 30 years I wonder what these apprentices will be telling their apprentices. In 30 years there might not be any tradesman just Robots.

[@tayro7265]

Have you considered adding a rock crusher? I ask because an Aussie Co found by using powderized rock you do not need to fertilize, for years, as rocks are made of minerals. They, via airplane, sprayed powdered rock on a strip of land that soon grew vegetation. After ten years the strip turned into a forest. No extra water, fertilizer nothing but powdered rock. The only "extra" thing about their process was the sourcing of random rocks from multiple sights for mineral diversity. As a skeptic I would however like to see the process repeated. Unfortunately I probably won't live long enough for another ten year study. But it was fascinating if the process was that easy. As a selling point, after being proven a second or third time, wouldn't hurt your sales any either. Make a million and send me some. ;)

I wish RotaDairon made a machine like this one but in a size of a compact bobcat. It's a great piece of technology, but for the 50% of Americans whose yard space is pretty small and involves lots of tight work around buildings/fences/obstacles, a machine this size isn't practical to negotiate a tight back yard or side yard. Also, how does the RotaDairon do when encountering tree roots? Here in heavily wooded Appalachia, a lot of yard space is loaded with not only rocks but also shallow tree roots. I'd love to turn my sideyard into a smooth well tilled growing bed like this, but I can't figure out what piece of machinery could do it.

Burying rocks look good until the first frost and thaw pushes them up to the surface but, I guess by then the contractor is long gone.

[@rotadaironcom269]

the frost / thaw cycle isn't much of an issue if you're seeding the finished product with grass because the roots help keep most of that soil in place. but yes, if you've got a 16cm till depth and bury a 15cm rock, the soil will settle by 30% or more which makes it look like that rock floats to the surface. best solution (if you're not seeding) is to rip the soil ahead of time and pick out any rocks that are likely to stick out after settling.

I wouldn't mind if it crushed the big rocks into dust and gravel to eliminate the size/bulk of the rocks so the micronutrients and minerals they contain were more available to plants, but big rocks hidden just under the surface doesn't help any root crop, veg, or grain.
