Doesn't work here, even in some of the fields that are on the loamy side vs hard black clay which is the norm.
I felt that weeds just ate away at the fertilizer stored in my soil so this year, right after the last hay cutting, I plowed in the stubble. I have run the cultivator over the fields since in an attempt to keep the weed population down. and since fall have been over the fields at least 3 times prior to the one below.
The cultivator I am referring to is a spring shank mechanism with a 10" chisel tip (multiple shanks across the width of the plow) and 3 rows of spring fingers following.
As most folks, we have had hard rains with the fronts coming through and just this week I thought I would do it again as I am getting ready for planting, and the ground was so hard (after the field dried out adequately) the cultivator just bounced across the top of it; I had to get the plow out.
I know good and well that the drill wouldn't penetrate that and then there is the never ending nuisance of weeds coming up faster than the crop I plant.
I don't use chemicals to kill the weeds for several reasons so plowing is my only recourse. But even if I did, the soil still doesn't cooperate.
