[QUOTE="bear, post: 739992, member: 5779"] For me, clearing land by grinding/chipping creates a difficult after math to deal with if you plan on planting anything soon after. Clearing by this method is very quick and efficient. There was probably already a layer of understory decomposing or composting. Then when the cedars, sumac and etc. are ground or chipped this leaves a layer of mulch that is then left to compost. When this material is disked into the ground the composting that takes place uses lots of oxygen. As the oxygen is used up, composting is slowed and the ph goes down. When lime or ashes is added, it helps to deplete the soil of ammonia. The composting process can be better accelerated by disking or turning the soil a few times a year rather than adding lime. You may have to run several soil tests to determine when the soil is stable enough to grow grass. Bear [/QUOTE]
