[QUOTE="noriko, post: 228619, member: 4128"] My land is between Weiser and Cambridge in the town of Midvale. I am told there is more rainfall there than in Weiser but higher altitude and shorter growing season. All i think i know about no till is not tilling the soil. if that means no disc or chisel plow i don't see how i can slow down or cut up growing weeds. Fields all around me grow alfalfa and tritakaylee (spelling?). I am learning that ground is fragile and the more I do till it the more it is slower to grow anything back because it is not choice farm ground. My best chance is just to "try" to grow weeds as they grow best whether I try to encourage them or not. Native type crested wheat grass, native grass, bolbus blue grass and maybe others are what i am told to be the best to plant. Very complicated to grow alfalfa... if you plant it in the fall maybe no rain and it must be a certain height before the freeze... If you plant it in the fall with tractors it is at least until April or May until you can drive without getting stuck. Threre are spring rains but if you wait til summer it is almost like the temperature of an Arizona desert which is according to forecasts... about 17 degrees cooler than hell. Air seeding seemed to be a good idea but all the sudden were high winds and higher high temps to dry out the ground. I guess my biggest question was my chisel plow. I bought it but never used it yet so don't have any idea what the performance will be. What i did know about a chisel plow was that compared to a bottom plow, it was better in cases not to bring up lower soil to the surface or that was what i thought. Thanks for any and all replies [/QUOTE]
