Doc spends the day on the farm talking about high potassium and other problems that nutrient excesses can cause. It seems that so many talk about deficiencies when an excess can be worse. Farm projects and lawn cuttings are also done.

Interesting, Doc. I had a similar experience with the EGO mower and ended up having to switch back to gasoline power. I have a small Bermuda lawn and found that during aggressive growth in the Spring/Summer it wasn't powerful enough to cleanly cut the lawn on the lowest 2 settings. The other downside is what you mentioned... when the grass is wet, it will severely clog and you have to turn it over and clean it out every 1-2 passes. Sad to see the EGO go... LOVED the quiet operation and the compactness of storing on its side. Couldn't justify $2,000+ for a power reel mower, so I bought a Honda rotary, and it's able to maintain the Bermuda grass at the lowest 2 height settings. However, if you have other grass types, especially broadleaf varieties, e.g., St. Augustin, I would wholeheartedly recommend the EGO mower.

The only time to disturb the soil is when you are adding something to improve it. Roots in the ground count as an additive if there previously were none so sub surface tilling sounds like a good idea to me to follow up with some seeds. Man doc you think your soils looks crappy you should see the borderline concrete I have here in northern Colorado that the builders added gravel to. I'll be drilling holes in my lawn to backfill with organics and carbon for years before the soil health improves.

As usual, great information and the link to the UK fellow was extremely informative. Makes me look at my soil tests in a new light ---- shows how important the ratios are. Will be charting the Ca:Mg:K ratios now and looking farther than Low, High, or Optimal for each test result. Thanks

A couple thoughts: has this soil been mold board plowed over the years? If so, you can be experiencing what we call a plow layer. Depending on how you plan to use these fields going forward, you may end up needing to subsoil every couple years. Annual ryegrass sown in the fall is known to break up hardpans with roots that can grow up to 3-5 feet deep. It has many other benefits as well. We did this a lot on no-till soils that experienced compaction from heavy farm equipment, grain carts, etc.

We have done rye, as well as many other cover crops. It's simply a matter or bad drainage and clay flattening from potassium

Gypsum may help with your potassium issue. The negatively charged sulfer ions may attract the positively charged potassium ions and then leach out. Or at least break up your compaction.

Hi Doc I'M just a simple man. Are your video's for rich people. I don''t have all that you have. Can I apply this to a very small plot of land. You are really very clear at what you tell us except for what size land you this is for. I do love your video's.

Hey Doc Maybe you can plant some Dikon or a Tillage Radish to help break up that hard pan. It might not be to late where your at to seed some to over winter.

We have planted plenty of turnip and radish however the high K keeps them from growing well.

@@HowTowithDoc well just keep throwing a mix of cover crops at it . Legumes have high K requirements. Eventually one should work. Looks like you’re never bored at your new place.

Doc, instead of using that push mower would it not be easier to pull out your JD Riding Mower and use it instead or is it like mine down and you cannot get the parts needed to use it?

Hi Doc just watched your video. I saw that your trench was a after thought, what about the line for solar system you said you are thinking of mounting on your new office your having delivered? That will also require a line to the house.
