Motivating rotavating


the last few days has seen the temperature rise to 5 degrees and we feel the promise of spring in the air especially as their are snow drops popping up all over the place.  Last year we had a lovely red tractor come visit our meadow and turn it over making some proper farmer style farrows which we had to leave over the winter to let all the hard frost in to kill the bad bacteria and give the worms a chance to do their job.   

Now with spring motivating us to go out more to the garden and giving us hope and promises of good life dreams we are able to rotavate  those giant farrows down into crumbly manageable soil, and what wonderful soil we have too i cant wait to get my hands into it.  Above is a picture of Nev and his lovely bigger red Massey Ferguson tractor with a farming rotavator attached.  With the promise of spring and the new land being turned over we cant help feeling excited and very motivated about being out doors in the garden.

    Wow, so much earth to get going on! I'd love to have a go on that tractor, I'd probably do a terrible job though ;)
