I'm thinking of burning a small 10 acre pasture this season and looking for some suggestions. I have read that the best time to burn is about 3 - 4 weeks before green up. In my area (depending on weather) rye grass starts coming on pretty strong about end of March so the time to burn is getting close. Other things I've heard or read are
1) Back burn against the wind for ease of burn control
2) Burn just before a rain for hot spot control and also to get the ash into the ground
3) Burn at night when its easier to see hot spots after the burn
4) If your going to fertilize, wait till after the burn to take the soil test.
Other thoughts?
