Tillage isn’t bad if you are using it to incorporate organic amendments.
if you plant very deep rooting plants, they can pull P from deeper horizons, but it’s slow. Test your soil, determine your P goals, and then apply an amendment, such as wood ash (careful with pH)
This year was the first year I’ve had a garden so it’s been more of a learning experience than anything but I’m hoping to create and maintain a patch of healthy, living soil.
I’m not sure if this community covers that area of soil just yet but I do appreciate the bits of knowledge coming from here.
I’ll definitely keep this in mind and consider testing my soil next year to see if I can get a better understanding of what’s going on down there.
