To Till or Not to Till

Return to Discussions

I purchased a small farm last year. This year I will need to plant them. Some beds will need to be tilled just because they got a little weedy by the time we got on top of the gardening. Others are in good shape either because we got on top of the weeding or were covered. No till gardening is being heavily promoted these days, but I am thinking of giving all the beds at least a shallow tilling to make planting easier and aid in water infiltration while the plants are young. Any opinions or suggestions?

RE:To Till or Not to Till

Start by watering let water soak in to to al most dry. The till just to loosing soil not to damage weeds, pull weeds out ,burn if you can. If need add sand and a good mushroom compass them till to your liking for planting.
