Five minute fixes with Guy Watson, founder of Riverford Organic Farms - For keen gardeners, with the days lengthening, the sun climbing and soil temperatures rising, the call to plant and sow will be becoming overwhelming. Unless you are blessed with light (sandy) and well-drained soil, I would urge you leave the spade, fork, rake and certainly the rotavator in the shed until the soil is dry enough to crumble easily. If it moulds into a ball or worm or sticks to your boots it is probably too wet. Gently digging over, especially if you can avoid walking on dug ground, will open the soil up and aid drying, but don’t force a seed bed until it is dry enough.
