[Farmall] O/T...but serendipity

[James Moran]

Carl-
I have been musing on this little project and, with your advice in mind, focusing upon "best practice".  What about this....suppose that I did NOT break up this area but, rather, were to simply "blend" the various seeds in a sand mixture and, then, spread or broadcast them directly upon the ground.  I ask this because this specific ground DOES seem willing to support chicory and St. Ann's Lace, etc. (at least to some extent).  I wonder if this fact suggests that the varieties that I had mentioned would, in turn, "take"?  This is not to suggest that I am adverse to cultivating the ground (not taking the "lazy man's out"). I can easily enough do something more extreme, but I wonder if this more direct and more simple approach would be effective and, in several ways, "better" overall.

hands on a set of spring tooth harrows, drag the plowed area with the 
harrows set so that it breaks up the clay chunks and snags the 
rocks/stones (let the clay dry out some first). You may wind up with 
several piles of rocks/stones that will be easier to pick up and haul away 
instead of having to walk all over the place looking for them. You may 
even want to try the harrows first to see if you can snag the 
rocks/stones. Of course this all depends on how big the rocks/stones are 
and how deep in the clay they are.
