Re: SOil turning

Duncan,

If you're on one of those Federal Way sand hills then you should have no
problem turning the soil (in terms of maintaining the structure),
although adding manure this time of year may find all its value leached
away come springtime.  If you have the room, and it wouldn't be an
esthetic nuisance, you could pile it up under a cover (tarp, etc) in a
corner of the garden and let it compost until spring.

I lived 4 years (age 17-21) just off 1st ave at 294th pl. in the '70s. 
My dad bought 2 building lots so he could be sure to have enough garden
space!  Very sandy soil there.
