I rented one a couple days ago for a two-hour rental which was about $25. It's totally worth the money, and you can till a lot in a short amount of time if you prepare well and work quickly.<br /><br />If you have a good lighting system, transplants are well worth it. I'll be transplanting some melons and winter squash only. I'm getting my tomatoes from my lot-partner Dan, and he's growing peppers for me. I'm not doing eggplant or broccoli or cauliflower.Nat Westhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15579830055646831396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436610591772046770.post-40993423619330968942009-04-20T21:17:00.000-07:002009-04-20T21:17:00.000-07:00I need to suck up my pride and borrow my neighbor's tiller. I spent the day breaking new ground (turning more lawn into garden) by hand, and my back is killing me. <br /><br />Are you growing your own transplants (tomatoes, peppers, etc) or buying them somewhere? Just curious. This is my first year starting my own, and I'm wondering if it will be worth the effort. They look so tiny!nancynoreply@blogger.com
