Turning beds is hard work.

There’s no way around all the hours of field work required to turn a bed if you choose to grow no-till. It’s well worth the hard work, but until your beds are established it’s a grind. It’s shovels and rock rakes, dirt clods and broad forks. Sometimes the reward is finding tons of earthworms in the beds tilled in the fall, sometimes it’s the comic relief of dogs thinking they can help in some way. Ola dug deeper into the section I was working on, then took a nap. I guess ‘regenerative agriculture’ still needs to be better defined.
