[QUOTE="novatech, post: 588470, member: 5494"] Good thinking. Around here the soil varies from pasture to pasture and requires different methods for tillage depending on the type of soil and how deep the top soil is. Even the time since it was last deep plowed may be a factor. Over tillage, breaking down to a fine powder, can have adverse effects on some soils. I have been planting oats clover, and rye in a 15 acre plot with an old pasture dream. In that one 15 acre plot I observed 3 distinctly different soil types. It went from fine sand to sandy loam to clay. If I had to prepare a seed bed in that plot it would take 3 different methods for that single area. Even different types of clays would require different methods. [/QUOTE]
