over with my wife (admittedly a much better source of gardening info than myself). We recommend getting into it with a pitchfork, hoe, and other such forms of brute force. Crude, but effective--and the soil (and your bulbs) will love you for
fleshy roots (like poppy, balloonflower and bleeding heart). Sometimes it's easier to loosen and pull out a clump with a pitchfork than a spade. But in gardening nothing is black and white though. For really overgrown clumps with heavy matted roots
makes the soil rich, though digging a hole in sod is a bit of a chopping chore. If necessary, use a pickaxe or certainly a pitchfork. It's not necessary to turn the soil over, just to loosen it enough for the vegetable roots to be able to push through
usually used up faster than the moisture, so the materials must be turned or mixed up occasionallly to add air that will sustain high temperatures and control odor. Materials can be turned with a pitchfork, rake, or other garden tool.
going after chicken eggs. Nailed him straight on too, but whew, what a stench. I carried the body off on the end of a pitchfork and was banned from all family social events pending a complete scrubbing. The expression "wouldn't touch it with a 10
will save any problems. if it was just one layer then fine, but two?!?! it wont be that hard just use a spade shovel or pitchfork or icescraper or something. if you have any problems just add a little heat to the floor and the adhesive will loosen right
