Subject: Kind of a catch-22 aint it.


 When you practice no-till keeping the soils "like they were for hundreds of years so it must the best", you make the perfect environment for the wildlife that lived in those soils for those hundreds of years. Much of that wildlife turns out to be a pest and not conducive to farming. Maybe that's why the soils were tilled to start with, to condition the soils for productive agriculture.??

 But I've watched some video of various rolling harrows and other surface leveling tools. May not need to go as deep as a disk or cultivator, if you can get ahold of a phoenix harrow or the like. Even one of those very heavy spring tine harrows. I think they also call them straw rakes. We have gopher and mole issues in perennial grasses that we are going to use a phoenix harrow to level the surfaces of.
