@ryuson2000 … I’ll apply fertilizer in the fall where the corn will be planted the following spring. Will be doing some of that today……..Donald
fertizing b4 tilling?
interesting…
@webcajun ooohhh i didnt know then never mind we did although come through treeport
@taylormccoy … Ya’ll have counties and we have parishes. If you ever come through and see the sign Hamburg, then you’re real close to where I live…….Donald
hey donald i was just in parish louisiana last this week delievering cattle trailers when i saw the highway sign and it said parish i thought of your videos
@scott1506 come on now, let’s live together in perfect harmony
@scott1506 …. may need it this year……. Donald
well ive got a big big comby harverster an ill give you the keys!
It’s a good idea to get your seeds early. Lots of new gardeners ordering seeds these days……… Donald
wow. pretty nice way of doing that. i am going to have to do it the hard way by hand. just collecting seeds for now. next year i will start.
My spreader is an Agri-Fab. Cheap but does what I need. I’m sure there are some a lot better but I’ve never had a problem. Wash it out after applying fertilizer and give it a shot of oil here and there and it’ll last for many years…….. Donald
What kind of tow behind spreader do you use and recommend? Most of the ones I checked out have bad reviews. I really enjoy your videos!
Hey Tom … the rows had been drawn for some time and grass was starting to grow. I like starting out with a clean seed bed so I wanted to get rid of the grass. Just re-hipping would have only taken care of the sides of the row and not the top. That’s why I really don’t recommend drawing rows until you’re ready to plant. If it starts raining before you can get back in there, the grass and weeds will grow. Oh, retirement is 100 times better than you could ever imagine. LOL …. Donald
Nice Video Donald! Curious, why do you have to bust a row after you have tilled, then hip a row? Nice equipment you have. I live in the Washington DC area and grow my stuff in planter boxes. I can’t wait to retire and do it the right way, your way! Appreciate the great video!!! Thanks, -Tom
It’s a King Kutter II, 5 foot model. One of the best buys I’ve made……. Donald
Nice video!! What kind of tiller is that? I am looking to buy one in the next couple of years.
Go to my web site.
I have some questions that i need answered….i have a rather big garden and my family have comed to rely on “put up” vegs….from garden…i am looking to get the most out of garden….i have many qyestions…is there an email that i can contact…..?
i have a garden 72′ long by 58′ wide…looking for a way to maybe divide garden in order to keep out weeds…i have large equip…but as you say…lol…just to lazy…i plant tomatoe, bellpep, okra, squash, corn, kentwond pole b(1 row only lol) watermelon, cannelope, honneydew…..among others…i need suggestions on the outline…i have thought of raised beds for some…need help…oh …does a “prine” really help before planting?
Go to my website where you will find a link on the home page to a company that sells them. thebayougardener . com
I must ask? I have looked all over for a hiper like you have, and have not been able to find one yet! Where did you find yours. I have a tractor about the size of yours. I have found bigger but nothing to fit my tractor.
When making a furrow with the tractor I use my middle buster. I can run it as deep or as shallow as I need depending on what I’m planting. I do understand what you’re saying, attaching the hoe would have saved a step…… Donald
hey that last tilliing step with the manual hoe seemed unnesicerry. i bet with some wood or pvc pipes and some duct tape you could attach your hoe to the back of the last machine steps and with some consideration the hoe tool attachment could be removeabel and reuseabel so as to be an option…rambel~!
No, I plant on 4 ft. wide rows. I’ll sometimes plant on flater ground for vegetables such as sweet corn, potatoes and okra then I’ll come back later and pull dirt to the plants as needed.
do you ever use swales or rounded beds?
