[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

"The potatoes still managed to bury themselves just deep enough that my heavy clay soil made them hard to get to."

A pain. Still, Hard to dig beats no potatoes which is what I had. I can see the bio char breaking up the surface. Maybe till in some spoiled hay or straw first? Diana uses No Till Ruth Stout methods I think? Are you using that?

[Ellendra]

I till in more than enough organic matter every spring, so much so that it sometimes bogs down the tiller. And it’s an industrial-strength tiller, so that is saying a lot! But it breaks down fast enough there isn’t much left by the time harvest season rolls around.

My land isn’t suitable for no-till methods. That may change in the future, but for now, this is what I’ve got.
