Default clearing stones from stony ground

Eventually become part of the soil !!!!!!!!!!
It will take light years
Rake off and remove as many of the bigger ones as poss every time you
cultivate and use the no dig ......pile on the compost method and you should
have great produce

Having cleared a lot of the undergrowth from my new allotment, I
discover that the ground is quite stony with small pebbles, pieces of
rock etc. I've started raking them up and removing them, but I'm
thinking it could be an endless task, and how important is it anyway,
given that stones do not deprive plants of nutrients, and eventually
will become part of the soil?
