Apparently everyone in this tiny town has a little garden. There are lots of orange trees and LOTS of the big Portuguese cabbage/kale plants.

Question by Jennifer: Rototiller; what size for a small person?
I’m planning on buying a tiller. I was going to get a little $ 200 mini, but after thinking about it, I plan on starting new garden areas where grass is and also plan on cover crops in fall in vege garden (20 x 20 feet), so I think I need a regular size one.

I’m looking at TroyBilt with 160cc Honda engine. I want a size that I can use, not have to wait for my husband. I’m 5 feet 4 inches and weight 112 pounds. So, what size tiller won’t drag me around the yard and make me fight with it.? Will I really be able to use this with one hand as they show in pictures?
