That's a powerful rotavator! I'm amazed that brassica frame is still standing! I need to make something better to protect my brassicas!.... amazing lemon! Great looking plot.
Michael Dominy Certainly rotavating something like Bindweed roots would cause issues as every little bit will send up a shoot. The weeds on these beds are so minimal it’s not a problem. I have rotavated a heavily grassed area before and the following year takes a lot of hoeing to keep on top of the weeds, after that it more manageable going forwards. (You would need a similar effort if you dig it with a fork)Seeds are in the soil so you still need to hoe / weed regularly what ever method you choose.
Hi And thanks for the reply, I have some to do so will give a rotavate a try.
Hello, that plot looks ready to go after the rotavating. Did you also started your seedlings?
take care Joyce 💚👩🏻🌾🍀

Thanks Rotavator saves a lot of work. 🙂
Looks amazing a bit to early for a rotator for me yet but my plot looks ok go look at some of my videos.
Let your imagination grow wild
Thanks, yup it is a little early but blink and it’ll be full on springtime.
I thought the belief is that you don’t rotavate where weeds are about due to the multiplication of the weed roots that get spread about so much.?
