Not trying to keep everything dead in the rows. Just trying to take out the weeds and leave the grass. The weeds fast growth makes me have to mow twice as much as the area i have with almost no weeds. This area was farmed for years and then left to grow unkept for about 16 years. The soil from all the years of disking is very sandy and loose. Its on a slight slope and anywhere that gets bare will wash easily. In hindsight my first couple of years with the place i should have worked on getting the weeds under control before planting all the trees but, im not getting any younger and wanted them in the ground sooner rather than later.
