Sympathy please! I'm turning a chunk of garden into a veg plot, and need to have it prepred within the next fortnight (when my potatoes and winter veg arrive). And the soil is just clay, practically nothing else. So it's really fertile (good), but a nightmare to dig over (bad).
I've managed a strip 5m long so far (took me three hours) - goodness knows how long the rest is going to take. Fortunately it's been well covered for the past few years, so there's minimal weeding to do, just the back-breaking digging over.
On the plus side, I'll have a fab toned figure at the end of it all .
