My husband and I have finally succeeded in getting the kikuyu off a large
mound
of soil at the back of our yard. (Oh!! Me achin' back!) The soil was
dumped
there some years ago during a time when we weren't in a position to use
it, so
the overgrowth was *BAD*! About half the work was done by hand and then
the
remainder of the lo-oo-ong grass was scalped off to the soil with the
whipper
snipper blade.

Now we're faced with a pile about twelve foot by three foot by two foot
deep of
excellent, though compacted soil! What's the name of the machine I need to
use
to break it up? And what should I do about the kikuyu cables I *know* are
still
lurking inside the pile? I have a notion of making a built-up veggie
garden by
putting in some timber edging and mulch, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to
where
I should start...

Any help will be gratefully appreciated! :-D
