We made an exciting purchase this weekend. We bought our very own rototiller. We are planning to grow a large section of garden with corn for the pigs (and us) and sunflowers for the bees. After the bees have taken advantage of the pollen and nectar from the sunflowers, we will feed the pigs the seeds. We picked out a forward and reverse tine model since we were breaking virgin ground.
This tiller is massive, so I though we would make a quick afternoon of tilling and move on to the ten other projects on the to do list. As it turns out, the land had a different idea. We spent hours and hours harvesting rocks from the earth. I'm pretty sure that rocks reproduce- every time you turn around, there were more of them. We filled up the front loader of the tractor twice and finally gave up for the day only having reached a depth of three inches.
I guess that's what we get for thinking it would be a quick job!
