Spent the afternoon rotovating the other half of our plot today. I had originally planted leafy greens there last year but over the winter it go so weeded up the seedlings didn’t stand a chance. So it’s a blank canvas. First thing to go in is a long term asparagus bed.
I put whatever gravel I had in for drainage. Will let the soil breath a bit then get them in.
One thing that has struck me today. Although our rotovator is great at its job, it’s so heavy. I’ve managed to scrape our cars paint work today and so I feel it’s time to get something lighter.
However the one we have, old skool merry tiller is the business and goes through the shitty clay soil like butter. Being heavy helps it on the soil but not my back.
I’ve considered a trailer. But I’ve never used one and would need to store it somewhere. A new car seems excessive 🤷🏼♂️
