I would like to re-seed (timothy/orchard grass) a hayfield, but would like advice on the best way to break up the ground.
Ground is common and rolling, but no rocks. Tried a small disk last year, disked 7 times(yep!) and grass still didn't come up.
Someone told me to buy an old chisel.
Do I need a heavier disk or try a chisel? I grew up farming, but we never had a chisel (had a heavy disk chisel, and tines or chisels on a finisher, but never a spring tooth chisel.)
Would a chisel allow some of the clover to stay/vs a disk?
Have tried drilling, but that doesn't work for me.
THanks..
