    Guys,
    I've a local farmer ploughing my veggie garden again this year. A neighbor who power harrowed it afterwards last year, suggested I get the farmer to rotavate after ploughing and not Harrow.

    Is he just trying to get out of doing it with the Harrow or is there an advantage to rotavating?

    Well that's how I would try getting out of the job anyway.

    Rotavator would in theory leave it much finer and better for veg.

    I liked how the Harrow left it all level.

    Grow some potatoes here. Rotavator is put on it instead of a power harrow. I think the Rotavator leaves it finer and a couple of runs of it leaves it fine plus I think it goes deeper than a power harrow.
