Double Dig and Rototill

Day 3



I'm not a big fan of rototilling the soil each year .. it disturbs the earth worms too much.  But the raised beds need more attention.


After double digging around the edges and center of the beds, the Stihl Kombi-System with attached tiller made quick work mixing up the soil

Half way done ..

Mrs. Mac,

It's looking good. I'm going to take my tiller and do the same thing. It makes life so much easier, love those machines.
