we have a fairly large plot that use to be a vegatable plot.but due to
my partner having bad ankles and me having back problems we can no
longer keep on top of it.we can't afford to pay a gardener so i have to
tackle it myself.but the soil is rock solid ,i can't even get a spade
into it.the weeds and clumps of grass are impoosible to dig up.the only
time it's easier to dig is after heavy rainfall .but even then i find
the rotovator bounces off the clods of soil once it has dried out.is
there any way i can get over these problems.i can't do too much at a
time because of my back.
With peace and brightest of blessings,

len & bev
