7.5hp Rotavator and a 1hp grasscutter and fertiliser

Post: # 94148Post theabsinthefairy »

This is not really a tip or hint or even a problem - but was not sure where I could post this but wanted to share my day's labours with you.

No nice and even beautifully arranged beds, just a load of dirt and me walking in a straight line either up and down or side to side to mark out the different sowing areas.

Does your horse give useful advice, too - or does he/she just watch? :mrgreen:

Looks good! Even the 'oss is impressed!

It's my turn next weekend (assuming the ground dries up a bit and I get my pigs moved!).

she does tend to 'nag' over the fence!!

Snow fell again last night, so another week before anything can get done in the garden again, just glad I got the ground turned before this set of bad weather.

That's very handy having your manure machine right next to the veggie patch! Can you train her to poop just the other side of the fence? :lol:

She does not poop over the fence line, however she does tend to use a corner of which ever patch of temporary grazing we use, so it is easier to collect!
