Danny, I do not know where you live. From your post, it sounds as if your top soil is shallow since some of your garden plants did not flourish with the tiller preparation. The sub-soiler benefits such soil as it reduces soil compaction and permits accumulation of ground moisture as the soil is able to absorb more rain since the soil is fractured at a greater depth. I need to inform you that it does require at least 30 HP to operate a single shank sub-soiler. We must use a tiller sparing where I live because if the soil is broken too finely it will run together and harden following a heavy pelting rain. In garden areas, it is a tremendous benefit to build up the organic content to offset this occurence. What type and horsepower tractor were you considering?
