I guess I'm an environmentalist.
We put green board up on all our bathroom walls and water heater enclosure.
Depending on how the sun hits it, our F250 V10 is sorta green....ish.

Re: I never knew about this tool
One never really knows where these community posts will take us. I just didn’t know they ever made them.
Garys – I have used both front tine and rear tine tillers and each have their benefits.
I have had good success with front tine tillers with a specific kind of set up. I set the wheels as high on the brackets as possible which makes the tiller have a front tine to rear wheel ‘rake’ so to speak, then I set the drag bar deep in the soil.
By pressing down on the handles, I can elevate the tines above the soil, engage them with the lever, then gently lower them into the contact area allowing them to chew a bit, and at any moment press down on the handles to raise them should they catch and start to climb out, even with the drag bar in. Once I have a few feet of tilling done, it’s pretty smooth going forward.
It kind of reminds me of the aggravation one might have with a jackhammer if they didn’t know how to allow the recoil to assist them in lifting it, and using their knee to gently position it to the next spot.
