I've done a fair bit of cutting lawns and trimming hedges, pruning roses and training climbers, and, as a basic money earner, a lot of weeding/hoeing.

Sometimes when I'm out hoeing and rolling a "tilth" as @Oliver Buckle describes it, I'm reminded of that description and image, even though there is never a picture posted.
