Garden Tilling every bad year?
I just read in my local newspaper that plow the garden each year is not a good idea! I have a community garden Small a neighbor plowing diligently for us, does an amazing job, but the article said much bother cultivating the soil ecosystem. Any thoughts and advice on this before us until spring (we live in Cleveland, OH), which is what I did not understand about the article! Especially if you add a little compost to the soil before beginning the cultivation process, the mixture inside!
As a retired farmer and avid gardener here in North Dakota that I have seen great changes with the no-till farming, but its use in the garden is slow to pick up. When I moved to this house which was barren sand blow harder pan. For the first five years I've used a tiller to mix sand, clay and tons of changes in the soil for flower beds and then sold at the helm. Now the practice of techniques no-tillage in all my gardens and my solo now looks premium potting soil. Actually I use my soil to start seeds after it was pasteurized. I leave my garden all the debris overwintered. In the spring I cut the stems off at the soil line and leave the roots into the soil to decompose slowly and create water channels and provide some relief to earthworms. When I moved to the ground was full of worms and night crawlers, but their growing numbers reduced dramatically, now they're back. The soil becomes sterile if pound it to dust all the time. My next goal is to sell my machine. RScott
