Tilling Growing Area
*Plastic was added on March 3rd, 2021 So it has been up for nine days prior to this image.
Overall, the amount of soil amendments was reduced compared to years past. The idea is to focus more on in season spoon feeding and the soil test report confirmed that not much was needed.
It is important to note that about 12 cubic yards of leaf compost was added to this 32ft x 40ft. (1280sq.ft.) growing area in the fall so this needed to be incorporated into the soil profile along with the peat moss added.
There was only one pass made with the tiller and with the compost and peat moss the process was quite easy. Also, the end result looks great since everything was able to mix in well since the plastic was up for about a week or so to help heat the soil up which took some time but eventually it thawed. Outside the structure it is hard to dig any soil in places never mind try and till it.
