[QUOTE="ktm450, post: 225502, member: 5891"] Did the same thing u did 4 years ago at my place. Only I didn't use round up, I used cornerstone plus from agri alliance in Bismarck. spendy but doesn't neutralize the soil. I mowed the grass down super low where I wanted my rows and then in the fall right b4 it froze I tilled it up with a tractor.. I went 10 feet wide with the tiller for all the rows. that way I cld put the fabric down and till on both sides of the fabric. Im a firm believer in the fabric! When spring time came and they were going to be there I went out 3 days prior to them coming and I sprayed and tilled the ground again. It worked good.. Now that the trees are good and growing, I have planted grass back again along the fabric to keep the dirt from eroding away. Im not sure what kind of soil you have, but im not happy with my black hill spruce trees(neighbor talked me into them). They are not growing like my coloardo blue spruce, and the branches are super thin and they are a solid foot shorter then my blue spruce are. And its not like they don't get attention. lol My damn trees have been babied sense they been put in.. but the hard work is starting to show. I don't have a dripper system but my neighbor does, and I really wish I would have put one in, still might. But his seems to work awesome and he doesn't have to stand there with a garden hose and haul a water tank around his yard.. Good luck and be prepared to spend your free time watering/weeding them.
