Thanks for the comments Lukeman! So far, I've got it figured that the cost(monetary) is about $900.......and that is including the purchase of the Electric Tiller($350). As for time......I'd say about 50+ hours so far.....NOT including the bi-weekly track maintenance of de-weeding, etc.. Of course, my kids keep moving dirt around.....so that accounts for some time as well. Sometimes I leave the dirt there....but other times I "make it the way it was before". I shall have more time soon to add more.....stay tuned!
