Approx a year ago I removed a fair sized pine tree (about roof height) from the front garden.
Is it worth rotavating the remaining soil in the hope of reclaiming the area as a flower bed? The 'soil' is chalk with a layer of clay above. It's fairly disturbed where I extracted the tree roots but solid around the undistured areas.
I have at least one full compost bin whose contents I could incorporate into the bed.
The DIY slant is the use of a powered labour saving tool as a preference to back breaking digging.
TIA
