I've been researching "farming". Seems their is an opinion out there that roto tillers and discs compact the soil. I've never heard that or ever had a problem with it that I was aware of. Bear in mind I'm currently gardening about 1/2 acre and it's been 30 years since I farmed rowcrops. Even back in the day when I operated equipment for Dad and the neihbors I was taught what to do but not why.
I currently mold board plow, disc, then drag with a spike tooth harrow and plant. I am reconditioning a 8' fast hitch spring tooth harrow and may use that before I disc.
What's the science behind the opinion that disc and rotary tillers compact the soil?
