Row, row your… uh, rows!
Tracy & I started putting in the rows in the garden. We are using the rototiller, not on the rows that will be planted, but to make the pathways. Doing this, we are loosening up soil which will be piled on the rows, increasing soil depth. If you’ve worked in the garden in the past, you know the soil is clay and it gets to be hard as a rock 8″ to 12″ down. We are working to change that by adding more organic matter, and in the fall planting cover crops. The cover crops will not only add nutrients to the soil, but their roots and plants will add yet more organic matter. It will take a while to build the soil so that we have a deeper healthy soil.
