I'll sometimes plant on flater ground for vegetables such as sweet corn, potatoes and okra then I'll come back later and pull dirt to the plants as needed. No, I plant on 4 ft. wide rows.

Cheap but does what I need. I'm sure there are some a lot better but I've never had a problem. Wash it out after applying fertilizer and give it a shot of oil here and there and it'll last for many years........ Donald My spreader is an Agri-Fab. Cheap but does what I need.

I like starting out with a clean seed bed so I wanted to get rid of the grass. Just re-hipping would have only taken care of the sides of the row and not the top. That's why I really don't recommend drawing rows until you're ready to plant. If it starts raining before you can get back in there, the grass and weeds will grow. Oh, retirement is 100 times better than you could ever imagine. LOL .... Donald Hey Tom … the rows had been drawn for some time and grass was starting to grow.

Curious, why do you have to bust a row after you have tilled, then hip a row? Nice equipment you have. I live in the Washington DC area and grow my stuff in planter boxes. I can't wait to retire and do it the right way, your way! Appreciate the great video!!! Thanks, -Tom Nice Video Donald! Curious, why do you have to bust a row after you have tilled, then hip a row?
