[QUOTE="highgrit, post: 949768, member: 14198"] Use a front end loader bucket to harvest your sprigs out of your test plot. I cut about 2-4 inches deep with the bucket. Go dump the bucket where you want to establish your field in the early spring and disk it in. After disking in, rolling or cultipacking seems to help but is not needed. I used 2 dump truck loads, about 10-12 yards is my guess. The next spring I disked the field up good and drug it simi flat. Before I started sprigging I did a soil sample and added lime and fertlized as needed. I did a 10 acre field this way 4 years ago with coastal and its averaging 4 - 4x5 rolls per cutting this year. It takes awhile but it works, all you need is rain in the spring, Good Luck [/QUOTE]
