This was a lot of work but it will pay off over the years. I now have no till garden beds. Yes, I tilled to get them started. All the beds are have now been mulched around with wood chips. The broad fork was used to break up the hard pan that the tiller left behind. It pulled up a two to three inch layer of compacted dirt. I will put some straw in the rows on top of the wood chips as an added layer of mulch. Once the this is planted and the plants get up a few inches I will place straw on the beds for mulch also. This year we will log what was planted where so that next year we can rotate our crops.
