I'm in South Texas with Sandy Loam Soil and I have 10 acres which used to have Coastal on it. It hadn't been taken care of in years and there is little evidence of coastal left. Right now, its mainly weeds, a little native grass, and a little coastal, with lots of small Husauice? (Weesatch) on it.

I just bought a Hay King 8.5' Tandem Disk (3pt) and added about 600 # to it. Right now I have already made a single pass and have started making the second pass (crossways). I have the front gangs fully forward and the rear gangs fully back like a 'X'. She is rolling about 7 to 8" of soil. My plan was to try and kill every off. disc it again in Febuary before I sprigg.

Again, I plan on having it sprigged in March or late Febuary. How is the best way to prepare it?
Am I doing it correctly? Any input would be appreciated.

i hear from some friends that the husauice or weesatch is very very hard to kill out once it gets a hold. they say that ALL the roots have got to come out or it will just come back even stronger. maybe ask the county extension agent what can be used to kill it complety. as for as ground prep, i think u r headed in the right direction and in the early spring i would go in and chisel plow deeply and then disk smooth and get your spriggers to come in and sprig and roll it down tight so the sprigs will have good ground contact and also preserve any ground moisture. some parts of south texas isdry ground so the rolling and packing is important.at least that is what is done in southeast texas area where i am. good luck.
