    Hi Eugenia! If you ever decide to build a pond at the bottom of the slope to collect the rain water, you can use the rocks to reinforce the perimeter of the pond. Also, have you thought about making berms and swales on the slope? You could be able to catch more of the precious rain water that way and if would decrease the time and effort you need to use on watering.

    • @jerryhilgenberg325

      That is exactly what I thought--use those rocks for a swale or pond!

    Looking good on the Tractor ! Hope you get a good germination. For the next few years, after you cut the growth to a very low level in the Fall, plug aerate the land and then over-seed with the same mix (you may get a good seed harvest from the cuttings). Sometimes it takes 2-3 seasons to establish the goal you are after and achieve full coverage. And, yes, picking rocks could be needed over the next few seasons. Once established, the area will be stunning in bright colors ... yellows, blues, reds. All the best !

    I planted a cover crop in any bare area we have. I didn’t realize it can also help to loosen the soil. I’ve got to do research to see if I got the right kinds to do that.
    Thank you!

    The local family owned farm says new rocks pop up every year for generations 😢 but on a good note you’re getting your arm work out throwing rocks. 😂 Get some gloves to protect your hands. Love your seed choice! In my area people plant sunflowers to put nitrogen back into the soil and take out toxins. Where is the home you’re building in relation to this land? Love the drone footage! 😊

    Hi Eugenia, I recommend looking into syntropic gardening. It’s fantastic for any type of soil. I can’t explain it very well, but definitely search it up as I feel you’d love this method with what you are trying to achieve.

    Hello from a small scale organic farm in south-east Australia :) we also have clay-loamy soil here. The attachment for your tractor looks like a rotary tiller, depending on what you're planning on doing with the land it might be worth looking into a BCS walk behind tractor (small, 2 wheels). Adding gypsum to clay also helps breaking it down. Have you heard of JM Fortier? He is a world famous market gardener and I think you'd love his work. Keep it up! Your cover crop sounds great
