[Work Saw Collector]

We usually put in a good size garden, 50 mater plants rows of taters rows of corn. We have been so busy this year and the odd weather real late frost, we just put out 4 mater plants and called it good.

Birds go out this week so I'll be real busy for a few weeks.

No need to pull the carpet up just lay a new piece over it when it get's rotten as far as the tilling just till by hand each place you want a plant to go. We would just cut three side of a square everywhere we wanted a plant then fold the flap under that way you could pull the flat back up and have that spot covered if you didn't want something there the next year carpet usually last 2-3 years

I may have to try that, I turn mine with a two bottom then go back with wheat in the fall.

I tried the carpet one, helps with the grass and weeds but it is a pain to get it up for the next season plowing tilling. The grass roots still grow into it we ended up using a log chain and tractor to get it all up.

Just wait a couple years, and it will make taking it up that way look easy.


(I'm not the expert here, but I think newspaper ink is harmless, and soy oil based.)

My friend said carpet is the way to go.He never said anything about hard to get up,he said he rolled it up and reuses it.There is a guy a little west of me that has corn 3 or 4 inches tall.I dont know how he managed that.

He got lucky it didn't rot in the ground... Well drained fields are the best for planting, but it can work against you when it turns off dry...
We been thinking about tiling a couple fields...

I need to find a good 2 bottom with good coulters on it. You can use em to contour the grade and leave big deep dead furrows around the outside... Gives a place for the water to run to...

Yeah, we dodged a bullet (tornado) down in Norman, but the little town of Shawnee east of OKC got hit hard. Be a lot of of saws running in the next few days.

Storm blew through earlier,heavy rain,high winds and big thunder boomers. Lights flickering on and off,finally lost power for about a hour.

Thats too bad hope no one was hurt.

Just one death so far, and a lot of cuts & bruises. Had two tornados working at one time...the south one blew a semi trailer off an overpass onto the highway below, but the driver & passenger are alive.

It's not over yet, another round of them tomorrow.

 

[Hedgerow]

There was a little more damage here than I thought... Some of the local trees and at least one barn took it pretty hard last night...

The big Elm in the background just slapped the neighbors house... Hopefully not too expensive to fix...
