The support device is adjustable in the dimension corresponding to the width of the garden tiller. Adjustable mounting devices are adjustably affixed to the opposite ends of the support devices and are adjustable in position relative to the support devices. Each of a pair of shield plates is removably mounted in a corresponding one of the adjustable mounting devices. The shield plates are mounted substantially vertically in spaced parallel relation each at a corresponding side of the garden tiller and substantially perpendicular to the support device.
