I was a dedicated Jeavonite double digger and have the worn off shovels in testimony to same. Experience has made me change my mind about that. The first doubts were planted, as it were, by the book "Better Vegetables the Chinese Way" by Peter Chan. He refered to Jeavon's double digging with the comment that it was unnecessary.

Being basically lazy, I've never used double digging; but I've found Jeavons's book HOW TO GROW MORE VEGETABLES etc. useful for the tables of approximate yields of calories per square foot.
