Word should spread fast that there is a lunatic gardener digging up your yard and everybody best stay away until the digging is done. Suz The word's already spreading, although the dog owners are responsible. I've asked a few to NOT stop their dogs on my property. Some of the morons ask why. I asked "Excuse me??? I asked you politely". The nerve of me, thinking I have something to say about what happens on my property. Must be out of my mind. Ahh yes! The nerve!! ) Ain't it a shame that doggie doo doo don't make good fertilizer? Suz |

Found a guy who will do JUST what I need for $70-$100, which beats buying or renting a tiller. |

But the soil is mounded up around, and I move it back and forth. It's very well worked soil, few rocks, I only do this once a year, in the spring, to break things up for the season and work in organic matter. Does the job. -- Ann, Gardening in zone 6a Just south of Boston, MA ******************************** |

Now..having said that, I will include the fact that my vegetable gardens have never been larger than about 30x30 ft, easily manageable with a fork. |
