Subsoiling a field

Posted by Soldier Tom on October 14, 2006 at 17:19:47 from (68.18.85.226):

Got a field that I am trying to "bring back up" from having horses pick it to nothing a few years back. I manured it for a couple years, then just let it fallow for about 5. There is a decent stand of grass, but a better stand of sage brush, and a pretty good black berry patch. I have an old subsoiler that dad talked about using long ago to "stabilize his pastures" I want to give it a shot on that back field. Thing is, I have never done it, nor seen it done, and dad (now over 80) can"t exactly recall how he did it. The soil is kinda shaley on top, don"t know about underneith yet. It is on a slope so I don"t much want to plow it all up and go from scratch. Not ready to seed it fresh again either just yet altho it may come to that eventually.
There, long story, I am asking for advice. Thanks much folks!
