More soil working stages

Over a period of several days, this field has been worked over with a disc or other implement that breaks down the soil and kills the weeds and grass.

The number of passes depends on the condition of the weeds and soil and weather.

Sunlight on the roots is a major factor in killing the grass




More and more passes are made, always at a different angle.















Here is a picture of the soil when we are just about ready to plant.
No grass or weeds to be seen.










This is the last pass prior to planting. Notice the lumps are smaller and the tracks from the packer breaking down those lumps.









Next we will show the potato side of our farm.
