I'm looking for someone to turn and prep the soil in a small backyard garden. The area is roughly 10–15 square meters and has compacted earth from previous use. I’d like the soil loosened to a depth of about 20 cm, remove any old roots or debris, and rake it smooth for sowing. Please bring or specify any tools needed (spade, fork, rake), and let me know if you recommend adding compost or mulch. I'm hoping to schedule on a weekday morning and can accommodate flexible start times between 9:00 and 12:00. If you have experience with basic soil conditioning or garden revitalization, that would be a plus.
