Chris, keep the ET for gardening.  Find one of the roto-tiller 
attachments for your start of season gardening.  I finally got around 
to hooking up my tiller to the E12 yesterday.  Discovered several 
parts were missing (this has been the case for several bits in the 
package I bought a couple of years ago - dead ET and lots of big 
pieces, but not many small pieces).  Anyway, I fabricated some 
stand-in bits, and got the unit operational.  This was a sod busting 
exercise.  I have done this before with a gasoline-powered walk-
behind unit - no fun at all.  The tiller (Brinly-Hardy) for the ET is a 
charm!  (Just as wombat assured me it would be.)

There is also a hand-held long-handled cultivator for the ET.  I have 
not tried mine out yet, but I am counting on it to help with the bulk 
weeding between the rows over the growing season.  

I am counting on my ET to make gardening less of a chore than I 
recall it being in the past.  This is the first season since I got it 
operational, and I have put off turning the sod until I had the ET 
running.  No emissions fits nicely with no herbicides and no 
pesticides.
