Farm Calendar Spring Harrowing Pest and Soil Tips
Early harrowing after planing helps conserve moisture and avoid hard clods. Harrow behind a tractor or plow, and harrow daily plowing. Beans germinate best in warm soil planted shallow in hills or rows. Avoid deeply furrowed ground that crusts. Gather eggs thrice daily to reduce breakage. Tone up appetite with dandelion greens and greens. Provide good pastures through liming, fertilizing, and subdividing fields. Start pasture improvement now for future grazing. Grow grapes with fertilizers and proper canes. 6 to 8 inch growth yields best fruit. Ensure vine vigor and ample cane growth.
