What I do is to make a bed on my allotment - dig a trench and fill with in
my case old grow bags I have 12 from a friend - add some compost and mix
well.
Let it settle and then sow - fantastic - do the same for my carrots - a
gorgeous crop last year.

I want to get a fine tilth for sowing parsnip seeds - and the ground is
hard as iron ... not baked clods ... but rather a hard smooth surface.
What can I do?
