I live on 5 acres and I have a lot of clear space that I regularly use a rotary mower on. It's pretty clear of small rocks and debris.
Anyway, I want to try to get ahead of the weeds that normally come up every year. I recently purchased a landscape rake with a set of gauge wheels on it. I haven't tried it yet.
I'm waiting until the weeds start growing. When the new stuff starts to sprout and comes up about a half inch high I plan on going over it with the landscape rake. I'm hoping the teeth will rip up the new sprouts or at least damage them enough so they will not continue to grow. I realize that I may have to go over it a few times.
Anyone do anything similar with a landscape rake? Anyone think it might work like I'm hoping it will?
