Hi,
Doc hates empty forums so here is a thought. I was all about rototilling, but the wife said no, she wanted raised beds so she found an organic farm near us that has to change out it's topsoil every two years or something so we can buy the stuff for cheap and it is WAY better than the soil we have here anyways, so down went landscape fabric (old newspapers or cardboard would do) and we dumped piles of this organic stuff in little cribs I made. Since it was all loose it was easy to work by hand and it produces good stuff!
I at least used the FEL to load the beds and to auger the post holes for the deer fence.
