[QUOTE="Auggie, post: 225497, member: 237"] I'd try to disturb the soil as little as possible. So I'd work 5ft wide strips for the trees and work it in the spring. This will help you get out earlier in the spring if needed and also keep the weeds down. I would desicate it this fall and again next spring and mowing will help the residue (do after plants are dead/dying). It takes about a week under warm conditions for roundup to start working. It'll take longer during the fall. If you mow it too early, the roundup may not translocate. I would not rip it as it's native, not compacted (the jury is out for ripping reducing compaction; it can increase the likeliness of getting stuck), and should be mellow. A small 2 bottom plow would be the best way to work it first. I've made dozens of passes on virgin food plots with various cultivators. Plows work. Then a tandem disk a few times and you should be good. [/QUOTE]
