    My plot soil is going to need to be worked quite a bit, but I do not want to buy or rent. I'm basically looking for a sort of landscape rake. Has anyone made one or something similar?

    we had a little spike harrow laying around and welded the spike to stay permanently facing down, wrapped a chain around it and the wheeler hitch. we also have the material to do the fence drag. it would be a lot easier to get around.

    we just used an old drag section (about 4' x 4') to a cultivator and but and old tire on top. im sure a part from a drag will work too. see a bunch of old cultivators just sitting in junk yards up here with all the no till farming.

    An old mattress spring is what we've used.
