But it definitely is a lot of work. My beds are fairly high & I aerate the soil with a garden fork every time I plant something new. So far, that seems to be enough. Only time will tell, I guess.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-7611459040021467612014-11-15T13:31:45.120-05:002014-11-15T13:31:45.120-05:00looks great. you can really see the difference in ...looks great. you can really see the difference in the double diggingMrs.Pickleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678592143938874654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-79155919847216077692014-11-15T12:50:08.187-05:002014-11-15T12:50:08.187-05:00I had not heard of this before, but I can see what...I had not heard of this before, but I can see what a difference it makes. I guess it is just because the dirt gets compacted over time? I should try this with my dug garden but probably not necessary with the raised beds (as I don't walk on top)??Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-91462199942939452932014-11-15T08:02:56.078-05:002014-11-15T08:02:56.078-05:00Sounds like great exercise.

Now it's generally an old pair of trail runners on my feet when I'm out in the garden. I did double dig my beds in my old gardens, it's such a big job but well worth it. That's one advantage to having the enormous raised beds that I grow my veggies in now, no double digging necessary! You will have truly earned a winter break when that job is done.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.com
