Thanks for the info man. I imagine sooner or later Mrs Buehler445 is going to extract one of these from me.

Yep, planted seed today. Wife did a bunch of research for bee-friendly plants that were also pet safe. Got echinacea, columbine, phlox, and a couple others I can't remember. Also planted blueberries in those corners, which bees apparently love. |

I got my tiller put together today and it was a sonnabitch to hook up. Once I did the pto shaft was too long, so I had to use the cat 2 quick coupler I had and it worked fine. It was too wet but couldn't stand it and tilled my garden. My tractor might have not go slow enough in hard ground or I'll have to ride the clutch, which is a bad idea.
We'll see. I'll start turning dirt as soon as it dries up. I hope to do 25 gardens or so this spring at least. Painting hive boxes tomorrow and going to try to get my bee yard ready. A lot of my fruit trees are blooming already so that will be mostly over when ,y bees get here in a couple of weeks. I got the ends cut off of a propane tank....I'm going to weld them together and make a globe fire pit that should be around 4-5' diameter. I'll post that process and final result. |

I don't know...my assumption is most people will want gardens turned 4". I don't plan on doing a whole lot of adjustment at each stop. If I need multiple passes I'll do it. I cover quite a bit of garden pretty fast with 6' based on today's attempt in a wt one.
If the wind blows tonight and we miss the rain I'm going to do 2-3 tomorrow and I'll have a better idea of how it's going to work. I need to tune up the governor so I can get the RPMs up a little bit I wish it went half as fast as it does. In real hard soil I'll either turn it with my plow first or stop and go to get thrown it. I'll figure it out. |

Nutsedge sucks. It grows two feet high in two days and grows in clusters. You have to nip it in the bud before it gets well established or it will continue to spread year by year and it is very hard to get rid of once its established and it looks like shit even after you spray it. Nutsedge is the debil

If you're going to do it twice just pick up your 3 point some and then let it dig deep. |

I think the grass struggles in that patch anyway because it reflects off a window, but the nutsedge seems to survive. FML!!!! |
