No, I can vouch for your comments. I live minutes from you Sue, and I had
someone till to early in the year and had rock clods all summer.
I don't till at all nowdays. I use the Japanese method of smothering in
compost and just rocking back the soil with a spading fork every foot or so
to aerate. Works like a charm.

For mine is just a little old fashioned garden where the
flowers come together to praise the Lord and teach all
who look upon them to do likewise.
