[QUOTE="Allen, post: 225500, member: 389"] 1. Clay, not something you can do squat about as it will revert back to what it currently is for tightness in no time. Leave be and choose your trees accordingly. 2. It would be amazing if you could do drip, and of course it's possible. It just may be more expensive and difficult to design than you are looking for as a project. 3. You break up that soil and you will have an explosion of every noxious damn weed you can think of. Yes, guilty as hell, I am. 4. If you still prefer to go the break the ground route. Here's what I would do. a. Round it up. b. When dead, mow it close to the ground. c. Run a tiller over it, a disc kills stuff, but if you want soil prep and don't go down 6-8 inches, why bother? d. Don't go fishing too much when it's hot out. It kills the damn trees. Mostly because you aren't doing your job of watering them. The pines and spruces are probably more drought tolerant than deciduous trees you're planting, but even they would like a little attention. 5. Organic? Buy a hoe and a good pair of goatskin gloves. You're gonna need them. [/QUOTE]
