If at all. I know some folks just let it sit and go low and slow. Just curious to see what you folks prefer.
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoI let mine sit and it just compacted and didn’t really do much. Then I kept adding to it and made it worse. Rinse, repeat. Finally got a tiller and tilled it after 3 years and that made a world of difference. Now I till it about once a month or so.
minus-squarePlaidBaron@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoStill better than me. Once in the spring, once in the summer, once in the fall. Probably should do it more often. Thanks for sharing.
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoMy grandpa would water and turn his every other day. Wish I had the time/energy for that. lol
