We had dry weather last weekend and lots of help. Farmhand Chris chiseled the beds that had cabbage, broccoli and other fall crops.
I was able to rototill some of the field we pre-bedded in the fall. These beds were left without a cover crop and hilled in November. This is not the best for building soil organic matter but the trade-off is that these rows will dry out quicker in the spring and it allows me to plant during these small windows of nice weather.
Kyle and Hunter spent the afternoon transplanting on raised beds. After a lot of experimenting and adjusting, we were able to get the new bedder to work. When everything was operating correctly, the beds came out even and firm. I hope this translates to beds that are easier to cultivate and maintain.
