Tried my tractor mounted rotavator this weekend. It's a heavy duty Italian job. As I haven't ploughed the veg field yet, I tried it on a small strip of the pig field.
"Wow" I thought, "it's turned that grass into a patch ready to plant, I wonder how it buried all the grass so well".
Then I looked inside it. The grass had been ripped out of the soil and compressed into a mass around the central shaft. It took me an hour to get it all out. Lesson learned.
