Took 6 years to get the dirt like that. It was originally a pasture. Hard clay and sand with a rock ledge 12" to 20" deep.
If you have ever seen the stone for building called "Crab orchard stone" This is where it comes from.
This is a bridge in our state park
Until recently, this was the TN Hwy Patrol office Downtown Crossville

Re: Plowed the garden with the new cub today
Dale,
I understand your reasoning behind planting winter wheat for a winter cover. But, may I suggest something I found that was better?
I also used to do the same thing. Then I started planting crimson clover, and what a difference that made! The crimson clover is a great soil amendment, is a great green manure, and it also fixes nitrogen in the soil - just what corn and other vegetables need and want.
It isn't as hard to turn in as the winter wheat is, and it breaks down much easier too. BTW, if you do use crimson clover, it is something that has to be replanted year after year unlike white clover varieties that come back like a plague year after year.
Also, Jan will love the crimson flowers on the clover, and so will the honey bees.

Though trillions and trillions of eyes have been watching the skies for as long as human memory exists, no gods nor angels have been seen or documented outside of religion. The number of spaceships being sighted however has become much more prevalent.
