Garden Claw, fork or shovel to till or turn the soil?
Dirt and soil in my yard is very hard and uneven which is why I wanted to soften up and even it out for planting. I confess that I am not as experienced in gardening and I was wondering what tools should be used to accomplish this goal. Should I use a garden claw, fork, shovel or hire these patches? Any advice would be appreciated.
Forget claws, no hard snow. Start with the shovel / loader for a first round. Go back with a fork to turn the second and subsequent runs. Rototilling is also slowly shallow, then each time a little more. Do not go in depth at a time. Also tillers only go down about 6 inches. Using a spade / shovel, you can double dig, lay one layer to another, the return to dig back to the same place it deeper. intake organic matter will help the ground and untied: compost, well rotted manure, moss peat moss. Simply dig is a great way to relax initially. The OM keeps losing. Good thing is that you can start digging when the soil is wetter and collapse at the first squished in your hand and then gently poked. Thus, by all means start before the planting season ...... that before. Here we used shovel and rake first, then finished with tiller. The next 2-3 years, only the tiller, then came back and dug twice as the area just below the tiller teeth was hard again. We have been here for 30 years and I'm still working on improving the soil, because the improvements are rapidly disappearing and return to "normal."
