I tried the tiller out and had a blast! My wife wanted to start small (10'x20'), but I was having so much fun that I wanted to do the whole back yard! Took a little getting used to and I had to make quite a few passes since it was all sod and pretty rocky. When we were done, my 3 year old and I "harvested some rocks." Jason

Thank you both. I know the ground was still pretty wet yet, but I just couldn't help myself. Gonna dump ashes from my wood stove into the plot, as well as, some horse manure and till it up again when it dries out a bit. Just need an excuse for some more seat time. Then I'll have to get the mower on it. Any of you farmer types be able to tell me if it's at all feasible to grow corn in such a small plot with other veggies? Thanks, Jason

Growing sweetcorn in a small plot like you have is possable.
What I would do is plant 2 seeds per hill and space the hills 4 to 5 inches apart. The row width should be no smaller than 12 inches between rows.
The only problem with growing sweetcorn I have had it keeping the deer and racoons out of the corn patch.
Last year the deer ate my sweetcorn patch down to the ground after the corn was aproxamently knee high.

Here's a few pictures of my tractor and tiller (please overlook, if you can, the lack of all shields...that's how I bought it). Not real pretty, but gets the job done. My tines are pretty worn...maybe I'll replace them before next year. I was in too much of a hurry to try it out this year. Jason

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
