stones

hi ya my plot is fairly stoney would it be best to remove as many stones as and when i cultivate the plot, i was thinking of trenching the whole plot putting all the back fill through a sive or riddle,  i could be there this time next year though ........pete

That will take some time!

I have a lot on mine - i started out moving all large stones and then focused on certain beds. IE Tried to remove more where i will grow my carrots but didnt worry so much where things grow on top of the ground.

If you have a lot it will take years and you also have to put them somewhere (they aint light when all together!)

Good luck.

I've been taking stones out of my beds for about 20 years now, and the number never seems to diminish. As fast as you lift them, new ones come up to the surface. If you've got stoney soil, I don't think you can ever get rid of them.
