Rototilling

The potato patch is on track for planting potatoes May 1.

I found that the vegetation left over from the previous year decomposes much more quickly if it is incorporated into the soil.  I don't need to till them in perfectly.  I just need to enhance the soil-vegetation contact.  They will be much easier to fully incorporate in two weeks time.

Weeds, nearly all Giant Foxtail after mowing but before tilling.

After tilling.
