Bryan is the other half of a gardening duo. And, although I said, “Till first, then plant.” Actually, Bryan comes before Bessie. Bryan is a weedeater. In order for Bessie to be most effective, Bryan needs to “burn the grass” first. So, if your grass is long and tangly, or just a little out of hand, make sure to trim it first before you start up the tiller.
You have actually seen Bryan already. Nancy, our resident yard working power woman, was handling Bryan in the first post.
If you don’t know how to handle Bryan, this is also a great point for you to consult your expert (Phillipe) that has been so great at helping you understand “tilling”. But, if you don’t have an expert, we also found some somewhat helpful websites and instructional videos online to get us going.
**Word to the wise: Don’t give up, just keep trying, Bryan can be pretty ornary if don’t do things his way.***

Nancy and Bryan get ready for Bessie.
