@Xerocles that's quite the job to clear those saplings...are you going to do raised beds or clear out the roots?

Thanks for coffee, took my daughter until midnight to fall asleep she was coffee so badly. My Dad is coming over to stay with her so the rest of us get to go to co op. 😴

Neither!:cool:
I'm gonna try the "Ruth Stout" method. When they're cut to ground level, gonna cover with about a foot of hay (last years round bales @ $5/bale). No til. Plant by pulling hay back enough to plant. Any unwanted growth that makes it through the hay? More hay, till its smothered out.

First morning of dealing with frozen water, other than light skim that a finger poke would solve. Guess winter is finally here. Everybody's fed & watered. I'm headed back to bed. Maybe when I wake, it'll be spring?

Thanks for the coffee. We are looking at the red, orange glow of sunrise through the trees. Beautiful. I’m going to finish pulling weeds out of the garden. Ragweed, lambs quarters, they get HUGE. They are dead now and easier to pull. I pulled 8 wagon loads yesterday. I quit at 3:00, I was tired. I am seriously considering weed cloth for 2020. I’ve tried mulch, cardboard with mulch on top, the weeds always win. Last spring I ran the tractor and disc in the garden and wound up planting every weed seed in there. They all came up twice. Weed cloth is looking better and better.
