I changed my mind. I'm not going to till for now. I mowed on the mower's lowest setting, and then just started piling more buckets of black dirt to continue the ends of my rows and make them longer. All of my other beds got tilled at least once. This will be the first time growing on ground that has not been tilled in several years. It's like concrete. As far as no-till goes, this is the real deal. We shall see how it works.
I'm not going to fertilize, either, at least not for now. Everything will be on drip and black plastic. My ez-flo finally died, but I will probably buy another injector, so I can inject fertilizer just in case it's needed. I don't think it will be, though. The cow field material I am using is pretty much pure compost.
