Got about 1/3 acre which was mostly grass, but now is weeds. Need advice on how to restore grass. There is a septic drain field in the middle and have read warnings about rototilling deeper than about 6." Considering two approaches...
RIPPING: I guess this means running a cultivator to loosen everything and then dragging out the weeds? But all I have is my old Craftsman dyt 4000 Intek and do not know how heavy an implement I can use. There is a 3 point cultivator for sale locally , width 51", weight 102 lbs, $350. The question is could ole red take it, and is that the right approach?
Once loosened I guess the weeds can be dragged into a pile with chain link fencing?
BURNING: Means buying a lot of clear plastic to cover the area for 6 weeks this summer. Supposed to kill everything. Then dragging?
WHADDYA THINK? thanks
