[QUOTE="cowboy43, post: 732669, member: 10124"] What type of soil is your property made up of ? Is it easy to work with or is it a challenge ? Mine is a challenge ,because it has five different soils types, the majority of mine is 2 to 6 inch sany loam with flint rock mixed in ,then it is red clay, in the old fields on hill sides it has eroded to the red clay on top. In places flint rock is so thick it could be mined like gravel. When wet it is boggy because the water sits on top of the clay and does does not penatrate into the clay, then it dries out quickly because their is not deep moisture , a few weeks after being real wet with no rain the grass will start going the other way. When grazer type hay is planted most years you get only one cutting . When it is dry the T fence post will bend when driving and digging the corner holes is a whole story in itself. The positive it is paid for and is my home and it keeps me thinking on how to do things differently and plant grasses best adapted to the soils. [/QUOTE]
