We discussed what we farm with a few days ago. We prepared our garden areas today. We will be trying  black plastic mulch with drip tape this year. Here is our "plow day". The D 10 series done the tiller work and the Series III handled the mulch layer.

That is going to be one fine garden. Great to see those AC's earning their keep. Those small AC's are some tough tractors.

You need to haul in a few loads of big rocks to scatter around so you know how the rest of us live.LOL Actually that is a nice looking garden with great dirt and nice AC's doing the work. I have always said that AC horsepower was different than the other brands.JP

Yeppers, it is sandy loam. Great for this type farming.  But if I had clay soil I bet the tiller would have to be a bit smaller.

Hey Joe, looks good! Glad to see those AC's at work, we have that same tiller, but we pull it behind a 5050, "the clay you was talking about". It's still a little wet up here yet, but it won't be long. Have not got your sign mounted yet, still looks good in the back of the shop though!
Thanks for the pictures, Parran

Joe, do you set the plants through holes in the plastic, if so is the plastic pre punched?
I set 50 strawberry plants through plastic that I punched by hand, would not be much fun for a large garden.  Tim

What are you planting through that, and do you keep the same setup multiple years?   I like the attachment that lays out the plastic and the drip pipe, but I was thinking the drip pipe would be impossible to reuse after the firsttime.   Neat setup though.   Excellent way to do the irrigating and weed control all in one step.

This is a bit of a trial for us. I  have been doing conventional tillage and overhead irrigation.  We plan to plant our usual crops, tomatoes, pepper, squash, melons, peas, butter beans , sweet corn , okra and collards. Trans plants will be by hand. I am looking at a variety of hand seeders for the corn and peas.

Joe what brand is your machine and where do you buy your plastic from?  I'm thinking about going that route in the future...will experiment with a small plot this year by hand. We need to get more heat to our peppers, melons and eggplant in our short growing season.
