Continuing my spree of semi-related shop talk items... I was wondering if
anyone had a Mantis Garden Tiller?  It is the little tiller you always see
advertised on TV being operated by a woman in her 60s or so.

There are fairly extensive gardens already planted around this house and
also a decent sized vegetable garden that gets tilled every year.  On top of
that, here is the shop related part, I have to dig a 30 foot trench and lay
some corrugated drain pipe in it to route some water away from the house and
shop foundation so they don't flood when we get massive rain (or like this
year, when all the snow melts).  Being too busy with other projects, I don't
feel like turning over my garden by hand or digging that trench with just a
shovel... so any recommendations on the Mantis or similarly sized tillers
would be welcome.

Mantis is only located about 20 mins from my house, but I doubt they're
going to let me try a unit out at their factory to see whether I like it or
not...

Thanks!

Kai
