I don't use a tiller. I probably should have once, honestly, but I just scoop up buckets of black dirt from my grandparent's cow field. It's mostly composted hay, where the remnants of the big bales sit and rot. I make a ridge of that dirt, put down drip tape, and cover it all with black plastic mulch.
And I just wait until everything gets soft. Some GWR will turn yellow, but not all. The one in the pic above, I ate a little soon, because I dropped it on the floor trying to take the pic, but it was still very good. |
