Question:

Gardening Machinery Question?

I have recently sprayed an small plot of land. The grass has burned off but has not been dug up yet. I'm not sure what machinery i should use to dig the plot. P.S. The plot is small but is too big for me to dig myself.Machinery like tillers, rotivators e.t.c.

Answer:

Hello I'm new at this and I really an not sure what I am going to suggest will even work. Do you think a tiller will work? Or maybe one of those tractor things with the scoop on the front? My brother came through over with one and went through my overgrown wooded area to make a beautiful path for me to be able to use for walks. I was able to walk around that trail same day! He was able to take out the vegetation close to the ground too. The ground was rough and muddy when he was done but I don't think there's a way to prevent rough ground when digging. Chances are you will be able to get out there with a shovel afterwards to break things up or like me turn the grass upside down to die. If you rent one it shouldn't cost too much. It's also fun to work with those thing. Is it your plan to replant? Do you add any manure and compost to your ground. I've sprayed and then cut grass short before when I wanted to make a garden. I created raised beds by putting the manure compost, topsoil and pearlite on top of the dead grass. A few longer blades stuck out but they were very dead. I grew my best garden ever that year! Plus it was so easy. I was very pleasantly surprised by the result! I can't promise it will work as well for you though. That's all I can think of though. Thank you for taking the time to read my answer. Jeannie
