I planted 10 , 50'.rows of potatoes about a week ago.
I took my subsoiler and slit the ground about 16" down under each furrow so all
This rain and hurricane water they claim is coming can go into the soil and then made my furrows and planted
Took about 3hrs from cutting the w**ds off to closing the furrow

I dont know if it is fully evident from these pictures... but I used the flail mower on the BCS... to knock down all the w**ds in this garden... in about 3 hrs... Wednesday afternoon. I cut all the grass between the beds...
Cut the w**ds that were in the beds..

Im debating on doing a light till across the tops of the beds... to bury the w**d seeds and the broken up roots so... the seeds that I plant... have a better chance of out growing the w**ds.
Also thinking about tilling or plowing under the grass between the beds...
Also to slow that growth down... to keep the w**ds in the walkways from trying to spread into the bed.

I went to Culpepper last week...mainly to work on water collection and forgot to take pictures of that...
Going back tomorrow I think... so I'll document the collection side...
Still sorting out how I will actually manage watering the plants
Having said that... whats growing looks awesome
