Alternative approach is to get a 'gardener' in for the heavy work of
digging over - I use the word 'gardener' loosely as they need to have no
particular skill other than wielding a spade/fork and breaking the lumps
after.
Good points. I have plenty storage space and I find breaking the lumps so time consuming.
The ground is clay under whatever soil has built up from past gardening.
I would like to mulch it to death but no access for a bulk load of anything.
Thanks for input.
