although I expect it will be a couple months yet before I can really do anything much outside - i'm suffering from cabin fever so i'm thinking about the stuff i want to do when its time. Aside from trying out my new toys which include an 8" Brinly moldboard plow and a 36" ford/jake tiller.
I also want to 'Roll" about 3 acreas of old meadowland that i've slowly reclaimed over the years. It was covered with brush when I bought the property. I cleared it with a walk-behind brush hog, then mowed it with a heavy duty JD belly mower, and have been mowing it with a JD 316 for the past two years. Its pretty rough - so i bought a 1000 lb roller to use on it this spring (i'll only fill it about half-full for safety sake). But I don't really know how to use one - when is thye best time to roll the property and what kind of "pattern" should I use?
Thanks!
