What are you doing this Sunday, we are making beds for ginseng

Just finished with the last step with the bed smoother/bed compactor




All set for planting tomorrow


The old John Deere and big Bale straw shredder is already to go

@HumanEarth I'm jealous of the old tractor but happy for you 😁

That's a Farmall Supper C and the other little red tractor is Farmall B

Them are also seen in the top photo if you blow up the photo

@HumanEarth teach m how to drive it please. I'll teach you about rocks lol

I'll teach about you about rock picking

Left foot pedal is the clutch in the gear you want 123 or 4th and then the reverse gear

The brake pedals. Yes I said brake pedals. Tractors have two brake pedals. One for the left rear and the right rear tires. Thats to help with making sharp turns, getting unstuck in mud and other cool stuff

Tractors sometimes don't have gas pedals. They use levers for your hands and some use both. Thats so you can lock in your rpms in.

Like with planting yesterday and using big old John Deere with straw shredder

So the seeds get enough coverage for the winter. I had to set the rpms on the John Deere to pull the shredder at 8550 rpm. So each row would take 4 to 4 and half big bales of straw to cover the seeds

Each row in this garden is about 168 feet long times that by 24 feet wide.

That's one just one bay. Now add in 68 bays that long and 4 bays that are 2,400 long. And thats the size of this years ginseng garden
