Lots of growers are posting pictures of their cleanly tilled gardens. Here's mine. Last fall we pulled vines, mowed weeds, spread a mix of chopped leaves and grass clippings and covered it with a light coat of compost. Then I worked the hoop house areas with a fork. This spring we added amendments including a truck load of horse manure. The hoops were worked again with added potting soil and covered in early March. Areas around the hoops were worked with a fork in April. Hopefully it will all get sprayed with glyphosate early next week.
