Hi,

I live in southwestern Maine and this year will be my first vegetable garden. I have an area about 20 x 25 ft. Last September I added a lot of compost to this area, rototilled and planted winter rye.

When is the best time to till the rye under? I still have some snow in this area, but I assuming as soon as this finishes melting and the soil can be worked?

Also, where is the best place to have soil tested?

Thanks,

Peter
