Never fails, but I'll take the ot when I can get it.

Sprayed for grass in the clover and did get out some generic Roundup on the brassicas place. Atleast I got something done.

It's official....I'm sore, tired and hot.. But I'll make it.:D 4 hours plus with the tiller, but it's almost there.

Just a bit more tillin and dragging to drag in some fertilizer and seed spreading, but the majority of the work is done.:thup:

There is alot of thatch, but I dont mind it. One thing I've seen is the brassica comes in stronger where the seed settles in the pile of thatch. I'll rake out some of the clumps. They clump up when I drag the chain harrow. All in all, the brassica cover the clippings and they break down nicely....adds tilth. still building soil there.
