Awkward sods… 19th May 2021 Chris Jessop …and how to deal with them!Yesterday I removed a grassed border from the veg patch:more useful as extra growing area.The extremely solid old turf (in bucket) was a challenge:how to get the soil out of it?I resorted to a method used a lot in my early days here:bash it up in the electric mixer!Processed sods in one barrow;reclaimed soil in the other,just needing a quick sift to removeloose grass stems.
