Looking for some ideas:
I'd like to make some new pasture. We've got about 6 acres of oak that was recently thinned - slash and stumps are still there. I'm thinking about doing more thinning, leaving a few trees, and burning all the slash. I do not want to take out stumps due to cost and loss of topsoil (soil is pretty poor already). I would graze lambs and goats in there, and could put pigs in as well. I'd put beef in there, but I read about rotten stumps leaving potential hazards for legs/feet.
I LOVE being able to get in my pastures with a mower, and this would be a first where I don't have that ability.
Anyone have luck doing this? Horror stories?
Thanks.
David
