Weeding is easier when the ground is wet, imho.

I agree, but my neighbor of 35 years, Earth Woman, says that you "don't distarb the arth when it's wet." Maybe the rationale is that you shouldn't walk on it and pack it down if you have a lot of clay in your soil. I dunno. I just listen to her because everything she touches thrives.

“distarb the arth”
LOL, I can just hear her!

I guess a person’s weight would compact wet soil more easily than dry soil. Good old advice, is good old advice.

Thank her for me.
Actually, if you can, get her to write down all the stuff she knows. They don’t make ‘em like her anymore.
