Shortly, I will begin the process of converting a pasture into a soft, loamy arena for my barrel racing wife. For the most part, the pasture is level, with a slight grade that doesn't hold much water. My questions are mounting, but I'll start with the basics:
1) Can I use my brand new box scraper to move turf, or do I need to till it first?
2) If I mix sand in with the scarified/tilled soil, will it drain sufficiently?
3) Has anyone in the membership ventured into this "arena" before?
Advice will be greatly appreciated (my wife thinks I come up with these great ideas by myself) - hess.
