I have a neighbor/gardener this year. He just plowed a half-acre south of my garden. His tractor made numerous passes over my garden, severely compacting the soil (on top of the herds of cattle who wantered through mowing down my rye cover crop. I have unanchored the hoop house, moved it to a new location and completed scything of the cover crop. Now for someone to till the soil - my tiller is broken. Progress is slow this year!
