North Mississippi Delta / Alabama Gulf Coast | When I first got this little farm, it was all grown over and abused.
The ground was compacted from years of farming and stayed wet longer than it should.
I started ripping the small fields and got one of the bigger fields subsoiled before planting corn that year.
I was gone a few weeks and when returning noticed right off how the subsoiled field was taller, greener and just looked healthier than the field across the waterway.
Even though I prefer to notill, I still subsoil every few years just to loosen the ground.
I can tell when it needs to be ripped by how hard it is to get good soil samples. |
Tiling through dried up pot holes. How effective?
