Bushhogging, tilling, and straw

We hired a guy to come out and bushhog the field. After bushhogging the field, we were left with a field full of straw. We had a moment of brilliancy when we realized that we could use the straw as a deep litter method with the chickens and to mulch potatoes. So we began to rake the straw onto a tarp and haul it into the barn.


Over the weekend we also began the tilling project. We first put the tiller together, which was a huge undertaking. The we began tilling the first plot. We're going to have two plots; the typical garden plot and a plot for potatoes. The old guy watching me till is Bill our neighbor. He likes to come out and watch us work.
