Doing more with less —

Tilthing .. .

Tilthing ... most people aren’t even familiar with the word, much less the activity. Alan Chadwick, the founder of biodynamic/French intensive gardening, brought this British skill (and verb) to this country along with his other ingenious gardening methods. Every spring, an increasing number of gardeners employ this technique themselves. Over and over, they swing their garden forks at the soil, looking almost like baseball batters who can only hit down. .. or golfers whose swings always stop at the ground. For that’s what tilthing is: swinging a folk into dug-up soil to break up those pesky surface clods. Yet while the basic idea of tilthing is simple, mastering the skills takes understanding and practice. First you’ll need a garden folk. The inexpensive hardware store versions are okay as long as the gardening is done in easy-to-work loamy soils. Otherwise, look for a heavy-duty, thin-tined cultivating' folk. Make sure any soil is broken and workable before you start. If it’s too wet, you’ll create more clods than is dispersed. And, if it’s too dry, trying to tilth it will quickly exhaust you. In the latter case, water the plot thoroughly the day before you start. When you and your soil are ready, stand in front of the bed to be worked. If you start out righthanded, grab the fork near its head with your right hand and partway down the shaft with the other (don’t grab the handle — “choke up” on the shaft.) Swing the tool down so that it strikes the surface with a sideways, almost glancing, blow. Never bang down — you’ll just wear yourself out. And, don’t hit the ground hard; let the weight of the tool do most of the work. Tilthing doesn’t work the ground deeply — after a series of repeated choplike blows, you’ll have pulverized only the surface soil right in front of you. So dig down at that spot to turn up sub-

surface clods, and tilth them. You may need to redig and retilth one spot three or four times before you’ll have broken up all the lumps in the top six to eight inches of ground. To keep from wearing yourself out, switch often from tilthing left-handed to tilthing right-handed. Once you get good at it, you may be able to completely work a 4 x3o’ bed in 45 minutes ... if you’ve got fine loamy soil. In clay soil, it can take two hours or more to work up the same size area. Os course, how finely you tilth the soil will depend on the crop you’re planning to raise: Brassicas actually prefer firm soil, but carrots and other root crops appreciate the finest particled earth you can give them. That’s about all that can be effectively communicated in words; the finer points will have to come through experimentation and practice. There’s no doubt tilthing is work, but once you get the knack of doing it correctly you’ll find that it’s quite bearable, even enjoyable, work.
