And after. Raked it out and re-erected the wind netting basically. By our standards we have had a cold frosty winter. I dig he patch over and leave it rough (no green manures) which meant the winter weather has broken it down to a lovely tilth that raked out nicely. I've decided not to rotavate the patch this year as I don't see how a machine can do a better job in a few hours than mother nature can in six months. Big believer in not disrupting the soil more than you have to. Soil samples to be sent off, amendments made and then patches will be mulched again.
