Title: Digging wet soil
Post by: caroline7758 on February 09, 2013, 16:32:01
I have been digging wet soil, which I know I shouldn't but couldn't help myself when the weather was finally ok. Is there anything I can do to counteract the damage I may have done?

Just leave it to dry and ariate.

We hve done some digging today, will allow it to drain better, cleared some docks out, feel better for doing stiff again, gave Mrs blackbird and Mr robin worms which they loved

I was doing surface weeding today as I have some pretty huge weeds ( to my shame), but I was cheered up by a little robin following me around as well......it was completely silent apart from birdsong, most therapeutic!

At worst the only thing you will have done is turned the cold soil to the bottom so it will just take a little longer to wrm up
