Default ploughing vs rotavating

is ploughing your plot better than rotavating i have sprayed most of the plot with round up and most are now dead
ive dug roughly 400sq ft in the last 3 weeks and im sick of the site of my spade
now the plots 2000 sq ft (40ftx50ft) bigger than i estimated
any help is knowledge gained

Default Congratulations!

Hi Dinky Doo! Congratulations! What wonderful news! How many little seedlings will you have? When will the new addition to the dinky doo clan arrive? No doubt the new addition will soon be helping you on the plot and cheering on PNE! Have a lovely holiday! Dexterdog PS Im on holiday as well, but just visiting local places - hope the weather improves!

Congratulations on your new seedling due in feb now ploughing or rotavating ploughing if youve got willow weed bind weed or creeping thistle ploughing will hook it up and drag it fromone side to the other rotavating you chop it up but if you plough you have to rotavate afterwards so which ever is easiest
