How do you get a fine tilth?
I'm having trouble!
Dry clods on top; sticky stuff below.
Need a tilth to sow parsnips and carrots.

Pop down to Lidl and buy one of their cheap electric cultivators - it
works for me.


The day after a heavy downpour while the soil is beginning to drain nicely,
I find that it breaks down quite well. Bob Flowerdew would tell you not to
dig and then you don't get clods.
