Mark: There are a number of items I use on clay ground. First is a grain drill disc each side of row, far enough from plants that one doesn't cut the plants. The cutting of the disc blade shatters the clay crust around the small plant. Another item I use under same conditions is a rotary hoe wheel or wheels. I can set those within 2" of a line of small plants.

Having said that, you would be surprised what 3 plow downs of buckwheat the preceeding season can do to a heavy clay soil. Besides the buckwheat all but eliminates weeds. I couldn't mount and do a seasons time of adjusting cultivators in the time it takes me to hand weed. Buckwheat will keep soil loose around those plants, the resulting green manure grows vegetables like you wouldn't believe. I live in an area of 36" annual rainfall and will chalange anyone to grow higher yields of most vegetables than I can. Seeds are not bred for notill, they are also not bred to have their small roots sheared off by a cultivator once per week.

I thought like you the first 50 years of my life, then I saw the light. Buckwheat to loosen soil and keep it perminately loose. Secondly germinate all weeds in top 3", and don't disturb the soil after that. Very few weeds below 3" will germinate.

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D ... [Read Article]
