First Serious Project - Clearing 1.5 Acres

Jim:

I'd suggest you plant across the slope rather than down it. Erosion?

You got it! Did you see my first row I planted? It is Georgia Collards and it is planted across from left to right. I really need a tractor to plow it from Left to Right as well. The ripples would help prevent erosion. Gary would not take time to do this for me. I surely hope this new Tropical Storm coming in does Not bring the rain I fear it will. It will wash the way he left it. He donated his time and tractor... I would not insist because of this. Actually... Heather paid him but she wasn't here to tell him to do this and he had already spent two hours of the garden. I couldn't demand that he do it. I will do it as soon as I get another tractor or I will have to Pray that God doesn't allow it to wash. I just got back in and I will be planting more in the garden as it is this evening.

Still working hard as the sun sets.

Taking a quick breather.

As you can see here... I have the rows far enough apart to plow between with tractor once I get mine back or get another. I sure hope I get one soon.

I have made it to the end with the hill. Now comes flatening the hill for planting.
