Buying and sizing a disc

[RobJ]

Here is a closeup of some of the smaller stuff, pea size. I took this picture when the temp dipped into the low 20's one morning this year. The stuff was heaving under the ice crystals. In some areas, if you dig up a shovel full of dirt (clay), shake out the fine clay, this is what you are left with. It does make wonderful road material!

Florida sand is like having a beach in the back yard. In Northern MI I have a finer sand mixed with some course sand mixed with field stone from 1/2" to 500 lb. It is not good for trying to grow anything, but I want to do the same thing next spring in hopes of making an area for a garden. I will need to bring in top soil to get anything to grow. The rocks will make it very difficult to get the weeds out of my area. You are lucky to not have rocks.

Do you find the rocks are always moving to the surface, or can you ever clean out a spot. It seems some of the fist size pieces of ore(rock, hard clay, whatever) are always showing up from nowhere.

RobJ:

The picture of my rocks in the utility cart is what my tiller running shallow "discovered" when I worked approximately 700 square feet of lawn area around my garden area. It appears that I get a new crop of rocks with every spring thaw. I will add that after 22 years of tilling my garden I am still getting rocks, but to a lesser degree and usually small enough to leave in the garden. My tiller will still occasionally discover some pretty good sized rocks. Jay
