I'd like to ask the membership for a brief(or not) "in-order" rundown of the steps/attachments needed to prepare a field/garden for planting.
I know this is born-in basic to you farm-family guys, but to a newly-retired w/20 acres, it is need-to-know stuff.
So far the only ref. of this type I have found is an old JD book...I'd like a more current slant(any book reccommendations?)
I have in mind a KISS outline...something like this (my example is just for form...PROBABLY NOT correct order!?):
1st - Mow? or Plow ( what it does, tips etc.)
2nd - Harrow (what it does, tips etc.)
3rd - pulverize or cultivate or whatever, (what it does, tips etc,)
4th - (and so-forth)
Thanks guys ( or gals,
Larry
