A rye grass green manure has done its job over winter. I lifted it with a ho-mi and left it on the surface to continue to break down before the bed is planted up next month.

On other beds I’ve cover killed the rye grass. Both methods work well.

Some bramble roots have been forked up and removed from another bed. Some still need to be removed another time.

This is as much soil disturbance as I’ll ever do. Minimum till rather than no dig. #GreenManure #CoverCrops #Mulch #Allotment #Gardening
