well , while my brother had out his farm plow he tilled for me a half acre of sod . i do believe with a pass of the disc in the spring that's all the machine work i'll ever ask for . i'll be asking for a donkey . the rows will be 24" wide . twixt every row is a 40" strip of grass . this i'll re-seed with a clover/grass mix , which i call a tilth strip . this is where the soil life of worms and microbes abide undisturbed , and permanently so , both producing and conserving nutrients . they transfer horizontally from there into the crop row . the grass strip also gets mowed with the clippings sent into the rows as mulch or perhaps when general conditions are too wet the clippings are let lie or removed . i worked a smaller plot like this for three years . just stepping it up . i'd rather imagine a donkey will have fun helping me . the estimated yield for this half-acre plot is 25 bushels of flour corn and 6 bushels of dry beans .
Yields estimated tillage tilled now time to pray for rain Should let the donkey speak for himself Best wishes
