[QUOTE="1wlimo, post: 905676, member: 16646"] I take your point, but any system of cultivation should be use in appropriate conditions. If the ground is too hard in the spring ie compacted then this is just wrong and this should have been addressed in the fall. For several reasons, the first to allow water infiltration, air mixing etc. A sub-soiler sounds like it was needed. But hard to say from here. However the soil is what we all live from, and the best management of it is essential to ensure the best profit over the medium and longer term. Your system may work for you, but what is happening to your soil? the organic matter content etc. If you summer fallow for weed control there are crops that you can grow as a green manure that will serve you better than cultivation. Lots of the facts of soil science have been known and written about for well over a 100 years, however huge numbers of farmers head of on fad, or forget the lessons learnt in the past. [/QUOTE]
