I just wanted to offer some feedback on your three-part series
Look,
Ma! No Weeds. We have just purchased an old farm and are
working on bringing it back into shape, as it was neglected
for what appears to be 10 years (or more).
Being a brand-new farmer, I have little idea as to not only
organic weed control, but also the equipment used in this
process. These articles were outstanding. The Martens do an
excellent job of describing not only weed control, but also
equipment types, usage and descriptions (the photos were a
real help).
Starting out without this knowledge is difficult; these articles
really help in defining implements, their good and bad points,
and their proper usage.
Kudos for an excellent series and a great website! (How about
something along these lines in hay production?)
