Using the single bottom plow for such a narrow bed was much more difficult then I thought.  Took many passes to get it turned over and then at least 25 passes with the disc harrow to break it down.  Wish I had a tiller to really get it broken up, but I didn&#8217;t plan for that.  In fact what I thought would take an hour at most took about 4 hours and the result looks kinda mediocre in my opinion.  The true test will be to see whether the seeds sprout and survive.   Planted echinacea, calendula, sun flowers, borage, and a few other flowering plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2461-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2198\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/?attachment_id=2198\" class=\"wp-image-2198\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2461-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2461-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2461.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>After first 2 passes<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2462-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2197\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/?attachment_id=2197\" class=\"wp-image-2197\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2462-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2462-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2462.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>6 Passes with the plow<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2464-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2195\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/?attachment_id=2195\" class=\"wp-image-2195\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2464-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2464-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2464.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>About 20 passes with the disc harrow<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2465-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2194\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/?attachment_id=2194\" class=\"wp-image-2194\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2465-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2465-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2465.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Seed mixture<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2463-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2196\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/?attachment_id=2196\" class=\"wp-image-2196\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2463-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2463-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.springfieldfarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2463.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>At least 25 total passes with the disc harrow<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Used the single bottom plow and disc harrow to build what will hopefully be a wild flower bed.
