Since I'm just finishing up building a house, my wallet says I have to wait at least until spring to buy a tractor. So that's when I'll be putting in the lawn around the new home. When we dug the foundation, I remember seeing very few rocks, but now that all the dirt is spread back out, I've got quite a healthy stone crop.
So here's the debate -- do I plow/till the whole area and windrow the rocks for picking, or do I strip off the soil and screen it to put back down? The size of the area is somewhat left to be determined. I've got 52 acres, with 14 acres of hay. We built at the edge of the woods/hay, so my yard will be however big it is when I get tired of moving dirt
