Reply To: Very hard soil after dry summer

OK, thanks for the advice. I’ll leave it alone then and hope for rain. Interesting thought that one about the cracks letting in good air, I guess it tallies, to some degree, with the biodynamic thought of the soil interacting with the cosmic forces when ploughed in autumn.

Rhys, I live just outside Zurich along the lake where the weather is quite mild, we don’t really get harsh winters just lots of rain, if we’re lucky. So hopefully, there should be enough time for the rain to soften the soil before it does get cold.
