    May try cutting and tarping? I know that its a technique used in organic farming for weed control when breaking new ground for beds. Not sure if it would apply here though.

    She’s not. We’re both safe. Just a generalization. A little philosophical look at modern man ;)

    Wow. Looks like a lot of work but definitely worth it! How big is the field?

    My advice, buy a decent stick welder and an old boat trailer and make your own. You’ll save enough $ to electrify it and you’ll have a welder. Who doesn’t need or want a welder? :)

    Not sure really. 3-4 acres would be my guess.
    Close to done but no one told me we were starting on this project. I’ve got a pile of oak rounds in my processing area right now. Split and move to make room for all this crap wood. Don’t wanna mix it up. Put a small dent in the oak today.
