Ken is a proponent of hand tools. He has tractors, but would rather sharpen his triangle hoe and head down the row.
Years ago while he was teaching a beginning farmer class, Ken told people bed preparation is well worth the time invested. He calls his garden rake one of his weapons of mass destruction. Ken rakes and kills the weeds so the seeds or transplants can get ahead of the weeds.
It amazes me just how quickly Ken can move down the rows and disturb that top layer of soil. It is like watching my husband dance!
