First Serious Project - Clearing 1.5 Acres

[Jim57]

Hello... so far I haven't gotten to take the pics I wanted. I will try and do it soon.

I am looking for a fertilize spreader for my tractor, a 5 ft aerator and a manure spreader. Anyone within 200 miles have one of the mentioned?

Today I purchased 1,000 lbs of 10-10-10 fertilizer and will be applying it in the next week or so.

Also... the materials for the irrigation system I am going to install has arrived. I need to use a trencher to install it. Would anyone close have one they would allow me to use for a couple of days?

I will take pictures as we install the system and try to explain it as I go. The materials for 8 zones was about $3,000.00 and that was hard to come up with.

So far there has been $13,500 spent putting in the well, pump and purchasing the materials for the irrigation system.

I need to start installing this system ASAP... I have tried to rent a trencher but they are all taken for now. This dry weather has many people putting in sprinkler systems and irrigation systems. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
