If you are building raised beds, you may get away with just turning the turf over and then putting your topsoil or whatever on top. That will save a lot of digging. |
I can carry the watering can in my left hand, letting the right shoulder have a bit of a break (I'm also hoping the azada'll be more shoulder-friendly than a spade).
I'm hoping I'll be able to get away with turning the turf over - the grass on it doesn't *look* like couch, but I'll be examining the roots closely
I reckon I'll take the can up with me and see how it goes. Thanks for the advice!
