You don't necessarily have to use a spade to work the soil in the garden. It is better to loosen the soil with a digging fork. That way you don't get back pain.
Many a garden lover thinks with a shudder of digging up his garden in autumn or spring. The result is back pain and calluses on the hands. But that need not be. You can tilled the ground without getting backache
from it.With the right gardening tool and a bit of skill, the following rule can be observed:
Don't dig up, just air the earth. To do this, you take a so-called digging fork and only lift the earth with it and move the handle back and forth slightly. This way the soil becomes looser again and you can also add organic material such as compost or plant mulch to the soil.
Over time, these microorganisms create a humus-rich soil, which is the best basis for planting plants. The more often this tillage is done, the finer and he althier the soil becomes and the faster the plants grow. This is also how you should proceed when processing the beds.
In the summer you can use the so-called combi crumbler to work the soil from time to time so that oxygen can get into the resulting crumbs. Because without oxygen, the plants wither and hardly bear any fruit.
