This spring i picked up a 6' PTO tiller and put her to some use over the summer. I tilled a 1 full acre plot and another 1/4 acre plot at one farm and 2 smaller plots at another. I also picked up a cultipacker off ebay this summer so i got to use it when i finally got planting.
I had sprayed in June, tilled early July, sprayed again 2 weeks ago tilled and planted last week.
Here was the Ebay score at a great price. He also sold a 6.5' disc and a 2 bottom plow. They all sold for under $300 a piece...i should have bought them all.
8724
Here was the 1 acre after tilling.
8725
Here is after planting the first half of it with Brassicas. Purple top turnip, Dwarf Essex Rape, and Groundhog Radish
8726
Here it is only a WEEK later (last night) and growing like crazy
8728
And here is the quarter acre plot.
8727
I am going to plant a grain and clover mixture in the other half of the larger plot within the next couple weeks. I am excited to see what happens. And had a lot of fun doing this so far. Maybe more so than hunting!
