I think this is one of the main reasons given NOT to rotovate. Also it damages the soil structure I think.
My father-in-law (who I share my lotties with) PROUDLY announced last that he'd bought a rotivator. We had to (just about) cut a red ribbon last week to 'launch' it.Me ... I've had my eye on the spark-plug. How do you sabotage a spark-plug??? Any ideas welcome!
Like the Chiilington 6159C/4P as found at the very bottom of this page?If you click on this which is blue it is a link to the Chillington website. Scroll down to the bottom of that page and you will find what is being talked about. :)

My late father-in-law worked for Elwell until they were bought out by Spear & Jackson (I think around the mid-70s). The Chillington name is still used on wheelbarrows sold by a separate company in the UK, but I suspect that Chillington Tools only sell outside the UK.Edit: No, I'm wrong.

This will release nutrients into the soil more quickly, potentially making them unavailable to crops and increasing groundwater pollution, and can reduce both good drainage, during wet periods, and the moisture retention capacity of the soil during dry periods.
