Tillage
The best landscape plan of the world will turn into an empty dream, when plants are growing evil. So before you turn the first shovelful of earth, think about this question: How was the weather?
If the dirt rubber door wet, let it dry enough to crumble when you try to squeeze a handful. If there is brick hard, deep water and then until the moisture dries, the crumbly stage but wait. If your spade glides, read on.
Spade, shovel andMoon phase
The hard work of turning the soil is perhaps a little 'easier when you use a spade. It should be square, strong and straight or almost straight in his tree. If it is pushed into solid ground with your foot, you want all the power, to go directly to the blade. And if you have a file, so use it sharp, the roots and clods of earth are major obstacles.
The best time to groom your garden during the waning of the moon when the moon or the changingFull moon to new moon. To further refine the best time for the preparation of the soil must be the moon in an air-or water-mark.
A bullet-shaped blade, with its cutting edge should, for mixing or turning loose materials. Treat them as if it were a combination of a spade and shovel.
The point on the blade helps the blade slide into the material and concave keeps the material from slipping as you and takes off. A bucket is placed in a corner with the tree, so it remainsApartment, if on a horizontal plane in a material pile.
In spading up small areas of land, many gardeners make the mistake of turning every shovel full of earth on top. If you make the same mistake, all weeds, leaves and other debris in the soil as a spade-deep barrier that cuts off the air and water.
Instead, you should put on the dirt (the bucket over the previous year), the original surface is perpendicular to the ground.
Machine Power
With a spadeto transform the land is good for small areas, but for really big jobs you want to rent or buy a power bar. Since a wheel is adjustable, you can scratch the surface or buried several inches.
If you add soil amendments rich, but find it difficult to dig deep enough to make the wheel want to start working the soil at shallow depths. Go over the whole area a second time (or even third) with the pole to a lower value at any time. (In general, the stronger the rudder and the higher itsPS, you can dig deeper into the ground.)
Add in the change, you should be an amount that is from a quarter to half of the final volume of the soil mix. (For more information on changes to improve the soil of the site, see chart) is not to change the battery so that the pole does not penetrate into the ground.
To avoid this, you will start to change 2 or 3 inch layer of soil tillage in each layer. If the change we need nitrogen, add part of the sum at each changeLayer. Finally, not in the same direction, until each time you change a level. For the best mix of channels should be at right angles to the grooves made on the previous run.
Guide Step Three soil improvement
1) Spread a 2 to 4 inch layer of soil amendment on soil with a rake, add nitrogen fertilizer when needed. Not yet.
2) superphosphate or bone loss (according to package directions) for good root growth. If the change is sawdust, also add ironChelate.
3) to grow in one direction, then at right angles, to cultivate the top 8 or 9 inches of soil. Several times the floor again to mix evenly with the change.
After these steps, the chances increase that a wonderful year in the garden. Tillage happy!
