How to Build a U-Pick or Flower Field From Scratch: From grass and weeds to beautiful flowers!

At our new farm, we are building a brand new U-Pick Flower Field to be open in the fall. In this video I will take you through the process, from ordering and interpreting a soil test, different methods to remove grass and weeds, organizing your plot, and what all we will be growing this year. I hope you find this interesting and helpful if this is something you want to do at your property!

Hi just watched the video of you starting your flower farm. Do you have pictures of it now with the beds planting and producing? Also when did you add the amendments from TC, after you tilled 3x's? then till them in? Then did you put the ground cloth down? Thanks

@@riversedgeforestplay7635 SO I ended up moving it and have it replanted in a new area. I share pics and videos on my IG @summerskyegardens. The new field I tilled twice (you could do 3x, depending on time), then spread the amendments, then lightly/superficially tilled them in, then laid down cloth.
