Hi,
So my experience from way back when was farming cereal, sugar beet, and potatoes. So now going back to farming (small scale) after 25 years we hope to end up with some grass land for our horses. The pastures at the property we have an offer accepted on have quite a few docks and other weeds besides grass. Unfortunately the pasture size is 1.5 acres and smaller so I'm thinking I'll receive a good laugh from farmers/contractors I'll ask for help.
I'm thinking of spraying to kill off the weeds and grass, PA1,2,6 should be sorted by then. And preparing a seed bed. Should I use a plow, rotovator, power harrow? I'm going to invest in equipment but rather not buy more than I actually need.
Sorry grass hasn't been my thing so really appreciate the expertise.on here. A
PS another reason for doing this is that I can get a grass mixture in there with low nutritional value, laminitis is a real worry with our two.
