I have to say that has been my tilling experience also.. I do till in a LOT of leaves and now the mustard as an anti venom for the Colorado Potato beetle and its allies.. as I mentioned to Shootie, first year I would remove most of the stuff I chopped down... rake and blow.. the tougher weeds (goldenrod as an example) decay slowly if not fine pieces.. (leaves work fantastic .. Especially if mulched) My plot once sloped is now terraced essentially so flat... I think the tilling/hardpan/erosion issue is linked to not augmenting the soil properly and sloped lands with heavy run off.. Hope you got your garlic in ... I ended up leaving a big plot of leeks in ground and my artichokes did not get seen to :( :( ran out of time before hard freeze... so I will use same area next year for leeks .. just till in the old leeks.. I will leave one row to see what year two leeks are like.. always an experiment eh ? Bernie
