I understand that it would be optimum to do a soil test and rototill and fertilize and deweed and lime and set up an irrigation system, etc. etc.
But what I am trying to figure out is whether I can have success without rototilling. This is a remote spot and I don't have a 4 wheeler. It is going to be hard enough hiking in bags of fertilizer, seed, and possibly lime, as well as a rake and sickle.
