I don't think you can. You will be fine but make sure you don't hit your plants roots.

ahab!

Yes you can! Each time you rototill you destroy some of the soil's "structure". I know some who till until there soil is a fine powder, this is no good. You want a soil rich in organic matter, and "overtilling" breaks this down too much. Also, if you repeatedly till at the same depth, soil underneath will compact and result in "hard pan"!
