Smoothing the Pasture

This fall we have worked to improve a section of a horse pasture. It was originally part of a raspberry farm, so it has hills and valleys spaced at 4′ intervals reflecting where the rows of fruit used to be. I rototilled about an acre, and removed 500 lbs of rocks. Then I spread a ton of manure and a quarter ton of lime. After this photo was taken, I rototilled once more, smoothed the surface with our pasture groomer, and spread 5 lbs of orchard grass seed.
