[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1530917, member: 24583"] Ebenezer made a comment in the other thread. Didn’t want to hijack that one so I started a new one. Regarding aeration, he said “use plant roots”. This strategy interests me immensely because I think he’s excatly right. I think that’s the way nature intended it. However, I’m not sure I know the proper way to go about it. I just got done installing 6000’ of extra cross fences on one farm in effect creating 7 almost equal size pastures that should allow me to rotate every four days thus letting each pasture rest for 24 days. I’m hoping this is gonna help. If not I’ve just created a lot more fencework. Any suggestions, thoughts, or insights from reading or seeing as to the best way to naturally improve soil health, water retention, etc? *Im not organic or anti fertilizer or anything like that. But I am looking for a way to minimize fertilizer inputs as they are my single biggest expense, including pastures and hayfields. [/QUOTE]
