Thats awesome! I had the idea you where talking more like commercial no till with the real intense chemical. I love the natural aspect of it and less fuel consumption to boot

8 post and only one picture.

Ain't much to see yet. Kinda looks like it did last fall, really. :laughing:

There's seed, sure enough. Lot's been planted, but the Good Lord has gotta send some rain.

I have 100+ acres, but want a small, manageable garden. So I look for ways to save energy - mine and the tractor/tiller. Raised beds I've found great to keep the compaction of paths out of the veggies, and I don't have to bend over as much. Mulch and just a little hoe work keep weeds down to acceptable levels. I try to use organic methods as far as I can, because they're cheaper in many cases. But, when I have to, I will use a little insecticide, etc.

I'm narrowing down on 70 now. I plan to gradually raise the beds so that I can continue to garden for years to come.
