Farming!

Today I was busy working the yard, I borrowed my neighbour's home-made discer and another friend's quad to pull it with. I admit I was very impressed at the job it did, I'm convinced that a quad would be all I need to keep up with the day-to-day yard work. I have been shopping for a tractor but a small acreage tractor is worth twice as much as a big one and considerably more than a used quad, that and we can use the quad for fishing & hunting!


You can see me progress, the green stuff growing there isn't grass!


Like I said I was impressed with how well this thing worked. My neighbour used to be a welder, he is an RN now at the hospital and just does welding on the side, he made this from scratch which is pretty good considering he knows nothing about farming! Its set up so you can put 100 pound sidewalk blocks on the top but I found it was digging in too much with only one block on it.

Tonight the trees arrive and hopefully tomorrow I can get some seed to do my ditches, originally I was looking at hydro-seeding but this is apparently quite expensive!
