Empty a trench into wheelbarrows. OK?
Pickaxe the compacted soil in the bottom of the trench. OK.
Turn it over with a spade, OK ! ?
Put manure on it. OK.
Dig the next trench spading the soil on top of the manure. Hahahahahaha.
Take as long as you want, just do twenty minutes a day or so.
RHS illustrated guide showed a neat long-barrow at the top of the second row, waiting for your return.
Pickaxe a good ides having seen the state of his soil.
But I always took it one should bung the dung on, then fork it over to stop the soil resettling.
As for leaving soil in wheelbarrows for a week or two.
Well, with the rain at the moment, it would bugger your back to empty the barrows after a week or two and that's if you could get the stands out of the soil after they've had all that time to sink.
Yes I know his were on a path.
The clip of him seeding a lawn was also hilarious, walking forward onto the seeded area in damp conditions?
Walk backwards, you can see the spread of seed and correct, as well as avoid it sticking to your soles.
and no i dont double dig, would need a pneumatic drill in the bottom half of the first spit!
