2011 Garden Under Way

We skipped having a garden in 2010 due to our summer travels out west. So, the weeds and grass were doubly hard to remove since they had had two years to get out of control.

To begin clean-up, I first used the Kubota with the Bush Hog. Afterwards, I used the Troybilt industrial mower--running it across the garden several times--lowering the mowing deck each time.

Finally, I cleared the rows with a rake and then used the Husquvarna Tiller--making several passes each time and removing additional weeds and grass. My garden has always had 6 rows, this year I decided to add a seventh.

The photos below show the final tilled rows. In the next couple of days, I will till in 10-10-10 fertilizer and then be ready to plant after Easter.
