That is beautiful soil! Saw you post last night on last weeks thread your friend Mike did a great job.

I just used my little tiller this year and the soil was beautiful before I added my compost. I hated to walk on it.

“I hated to walk on it.”

The minute, and I mean the exact MINUTE Mike was done, the dogs were in there rolling around in it. *Rolleyes*

I have a couple of 1X6 planks I move around the garden to walk on to preserve the texture of the soil after spading...

If you hate to walk on garden soil then establish beds and walk to the side of the tiller on the designated strip (lane) for walking.

I’ve seen photos of tractors with wheels spaced 4-5 feet apart. They go down designated compacted lanes every year. The wheels never touch the vegetable growing bed. You never want to compact a heavy clay soil
