I have an area of ground that I designated for a new veg patch towards the end of last summer.
it was full of weeds, so I covered it with weed membrane to keep it under control until I got round to doing something with it.
We have heavy clay soil so my plan was to dig it in early winter incorporating lots of compost and leave the clods exposed to frost to help break them down.
However, it's been so wet I haven't been able to get on it. It's still far too wet to dig.
I was planning potatoes for the first crop to help clean and break up the soil. What can I do to help things along.....and will it ever be dry enough to dig?
