 about a year ago I had my back yard cleaned up and sod laid down. I'm pretty
sure I remember the gardener using a tiller
however now I have a section that isnt growing like the rest and the soil
seem much harder than the rest. What would be the procedure to soften up
this soil? Isnt there something you can throw down on the soil to make is
less hard?

Make that a tiller AND humus- something to break the modules of the
hard soil.
