April - Week 4 -Discing

Our neighbor, Steven Allen, came up to finish the plowing and discing on Friday. This crazy disk is a "bat-wing" disc with the "wings" still up. It was a little tight to put those down in my .5 acre plots. Fun to watch the big tractors out and about. There's much activity now in the neighborhood. Big corn planters that do 12 rows at a time. Next we'll get some compost on the fields and do a second round of discing. The sod is starting to break down but will need a second discing to help it along... lots of good organic matter at the top of the soil for seedlings to feed on.
