I am clearing about an acre of wooded property because I want to plant a big garden. I am cutting trees and diggig stumps as i go. 14-18" oak & maple and some big white pine. We got most of it done and hope to finish before winter. even though the stumps are out there are tons of feeder roots that i don"t think i could plow. i made a root rake for my dozer but am afraid it will just make a snarled mess. i am thinking i could just level it and then disc it and plant buckwheat and try plowing that in in the spring. soil is heavy clay. maybe the roots will break down some by then? any recomendations on how do handle new ground like this? thanks.
