Another job creeping up on me is turning the rye in on the 1873 Steil patch. Today I dug in the area to both sides of the tunnel. Simply cut it to ground level and turned it over in a big square with a spade. This has been my method to date but last year I used the the tiller in this patch and while it was a lot quicker, I ended up tripling the mares tail in my patch as a result of the tiller chopping it up for it all to resprout. I now spend a good 10 minutes every visit pulling the stuff out.
