G. B. Shaw said that those who can, do, and those who can't, teach, so I'm offering advice about ploughing after completing two small test plots with indifferent success: 1. My uncle told me one thing only: don't plough in high range unless you have knee pads on, because when you hit a rock you'll be wrapped around the steering wheel. 2. Your tractor is probably smarter than you are. If you can find the right setting, it will adjust the height for you. 3. To start, adjust the plough to sit flat on a flat surface. That will work for the first furrow. Next time around you will have to adjust for one wheel down in that trench you cut. Turn that crank on the right-hand 3pt hitch lever so that the plough again sits flat when the right rear tire is in the furrow. 4. If it fouls up, it's a lot easier to pick up and back up and try again right there than to spend hours later wrestling with heavy chunks of sod that won't turn. 5. If you have a disk handy to hide your mistakes as soon as you finish ploughing, nobody will ever know how bad a job you did. 6. I buried about six inches of tough, wet sod this spring in the first garden plot. That mat has held water all summer and the garden has flourished while other neighbourhood plots have shrivelled away. Maybe there is a place for beginner's luck.
