Step 4: Basically, this step goes hand in hand with step 3, but here I make it a bit more visible for you. As soon as I take such a 45 deg shingle out of the soil, from below the rim of the previous row, the rim collapses (and thus the greenery of the previous shingle, which is somewhere in this area, falls to a deeper level). For better visualization I have marked a shingle of the previous row with a green stake. So, I insert the spade at an angle of 45 deg (pics 1 and 2), and in pic 3 you can see the spade with the removed shingle as well as the collapsed rim of the previous row. Pic 4 gives you an impression that the 'mound', which results from that turning procedure, consists of the deeper part of the extracted and turned shingle (where there has not been any greenery, it was extracted from the lower soil areas below the previously turned row), and the upper part of the shingle (which contains the greenery) forms the rim of the current row, which will collapse and fall to a deeper level during the procedure of turning the next row of shingles.
