[QUOTE="USMCDI, post: 225501, member: 1557"] Do yourself a favor for later and get a tractor that can handle a 10-12' vibrashank and keep it black for at least 5 years. We have 40 rows around our yard and if I could do it over I would make them 30' apart and able to cultivate them both ways. We planted those rows when I was ten and you can't get through them today except where we pulled out a row of sand cherries with a D-7. Fuck the fabric, I say again fuck the fabric, it took me months with a backhoe to get rid of the shit and it killed more trees than it did good. A water trailer is your friend and the hell with the fabric, that shit lasts forever and there will be wormwood coming up through the holes cut for the trees in a year or so then the only option you have is to step on the weed and spray it, total pain in the ass. Your goal for the first 5-7 years is to keep the weeds out and maintain the soil. I'd much rather run a digger through there than fight wormwood and every other type of noxious weed on the planet. I could go on for hours about trees, I've probably planted a couple hundred thousand and it's a love hate relationship, think 30 years down the road! [/QUOTE]
