I do not have a breaking plow. All I had to till the patch with was a regular tiller. After it was all amended and tilled I was so unhappy with the depth of the loose soil so I used my heavy duty pick fork that is 10 inches long and I dug down about 8 inches and pulled the deep soil , which was clay and top soil mixed ,to the surface and then I went back and tilled over it again. I only did 16x35ft of the patch and that took half a day in this heat....I still have some to loosen.
