Re: Why Are You Working So Hard? Blow Up Your Rototiller

I liked your article and I envy those that live in parts of the good ol USA where you can grow beautiful & healthy plants. Not so for the Roanoke area of southwest Virginia! We have 0-1 inches of humus, 1 foot of red compacted clay, and couple inches of dark clay and 4-6 inches (or more) of shale. Around here you need garden islands, container gardens, or work the clay with leaf mold and compost. Working the clay takes several years to see the clay turn into good dirt for gardening. If one likes to grow weeds then mother nature is on your side around these parts of the Blue Ridge.
