Message: [QUOTE="gata montes, post: 44855, member: 693"] Hi and welcome - as someone who gardens on the side of a mountain with incredibly rocky terrain - I have to say that as rocks are natural phenomena of this kind of terrain - that in all honesty whatever you do - there is absolutely no way that you will ever stop the rocks from appearing each time it rains or you till. However don't let that deter you - as although it is impossible to remove all the rocks - it is very possible to grow absolutely anything you want in terrain like this - providing you choose plants that are suited to those conditions - in fact as I grow all my own fruit, vegetables, herbs and nuts very successfully in ground like this - as well as many ornamentals too - this may help Only till deeply once a year - as that way you only have to remove the very big rocks once and of course it avoids the possibility of having to replace the tiller blades on a regular basis Incorporate plenty of organic matter into the soil on at least a yearly basis - as well as a good covering of imported top soil - the latter of which - although generally only necessary every 2 to 3 years may need to be done more frequently if you live in an area where erosion is a problem and of course as has already been suggested - you can make use of the rocks too - in fact I love them as instead of having to buy them - I get them for free and have enhanced many parts of my garden by using them for building walls, banks, benches etc - they're great for making natural looking streams and water features too :) [/QUOTE]
