@feinschmeckergarten I’ll let the broadfork loose soon. That’ll tell me if there’s any mypex underneath.
I’ll also dig test pits around the plot to make sure there’s no clay compaction layer and do a soil texture test. I doubt the soil is much different from what’s on the other site. It’s not too far away.
I’ll give him the benefit of doubt. I’ll ask him about why the no diggers he came across failed. I may get some useful info. I’ve not known anyone who’s done no dig and gone back to digging.
