In anticipation of warmer weather
We have started cultivating at last, the method we use is to deep tine (to 12" 18" deep) which provides aeration and breaks up any compacted layers in lower levels of the soil. We then rotovate to a depth of approx 3", this turns in any trash on the surface and provides a soft surface for planting.
The picture shows the ground opened up by the deep tines.
