Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 33227, member: 944"] That is fine and many gardeners do. Personally I don't like to disturb the root system because that is where the beneficial Mycorrhizae Fungi are located and by turning it over you expose it to ultraviolet light and it is killed. I like to feed and maintain my soil during the fallow months. Besides, I find my back a lot less sore when I cut corn plants and okra plants instead of yanking them out of the ground. I have also found that by turning over your garden soil or tilling it you bring up old weed seeds that you have to do something with the following spring [/QUOTE]
