Thanks Larry mine is rocky clay. I know they put Gypsum on clay soils and the old garden had probably 700 lbs of sheet rock scrap on it during the last 20 years. What ever scraps I develop when I rock the house will go on the new garden, but I don't expect to do that till next year.

Hi Bill
I don't know how I got there but Rudi has a series of pictures of him plowing with ellie-mae that were very good. I think I did a search on this site on plows and found a link to it. Also do the search on plows and their are quite a few pictures of peaple plowing. Sometimes its good to see how somthing is set up. When I was a kid I used to plow with a 8n ford and it allways pushed to the right looking at the 189 manuel I think I had set the colter too far to the left and it didn't let the plow sit aginst edge of the cut to hold it from pushing over that was 20 some years ago amazing that I just figured it out. Plowing is a art keep with it you'll get it. Learn somthing new every day and have fun.

My Grand father was Will, my father is william, I am Billy, my son at 42 is little Billy and he blew every ones mind when he named his son william. To me they both are Bill. To my wife we are all three Bill and when she calls only the one she intended answers. How ever she makes it different we can tell.

Hey Bill I'm William T Patrick II dad's William T Patrick. At 39 now as a kid I allways wanted to be called Bill now I like Billy. It sounds like you are 72 years young. Last month me and Vern C. were talking about kids, teaching and finding a fulfilling job not work. Last friday I went to a girlscout meeting with my sister and helped setup a play area for the little kids. I find being around kids and seeing the world the way they do keeps me young. Its a beautifull world as long as we take the time to enjoy it

Wow I like how that center plow is mounted. What type plow is it Can I set up the right plow of my 189 plow like that I think that would be great to watch the plow and see where I was going.

Ok I can see a lot of grass here too. I guess I was expecting too much. I had about the same but with a lot of rocks many of which are as soft and brittle as shale. It makes sence what BD says about dragging it with a timber to break that up. Would an 8 or 10 foot piece of I beam be any better? I also see the need for plenty of weight on the disc.
If the plow were set to take less of a bite each time would it turn the sod under better?
I will roundup it first but how long between that and plowing? I'll look on the container and get that won't I.

That is a disc plow. Cowboy your moldboard plow cannot mount this way. It is dependent on the right side wheels running in the furrow to work properly.
Personal opinion - the disc plow does not turn the soil as evenly as a properly set moldboard. Especially in sod. Others may disagree but I have yet to see a disc plow do a better job of turning sod than a moldboard plow.
The better you turn the sod, the easier the rest of the job becomes.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

New Garden Plot
I am working up a new garden plot this spring. Rocky clay Missouri soil that hasn't been worked in years. I sprayed with Roundup about 2 weeks ago then added fertilizer. I emptied sand tubes (tube type weights for vehicles) over the plot. I then spread very old hay (free) over the plot. Then plowed, waited several days then disk. Soil was dry, turned over nicely.
I'm thinking it may take one more year to get the garden soil in to very good condition and to kill off most of the weeds (fescue).

Thanks Billy. Those pictures show clearly what was described in pictures what the other guys said in words. Looks as if roundup for a couple of weeks from one of the postings. That means I have to get up there soon.
