We're just about staying ahead of the weeds in most beds. Though it has been challenging. This particular field has not been regularly cropped, in like decades, so there are plenty of weed seeds. But hey, those peppers are ahead of the game! Drip tape is the black stuff off to the left. I have to pull it out of the beds before I do tractor cultivation. It's a little fiddly, but the cultivation really works nicely.
Here's an overview of the main field right now! And the hoop houses. From foreground to background: Buckwheat, tomatoes, brassicas, pepers, Garlic and other stuff you can't see after that.
Onions! and Brussels sprouts.
Here's the Super A in wheel track cultivation mode. I also put down a third tine to go between rows later on in the day. It's not as close cultivating as using the belly mounted cultivators, (removed in this picture) but it can go very quick and is a bit less scary from the driver's perspective. (OMG! I'm going to uproot all my plants!) I'll get better.
Brassicas after path cultivation
Buckwheat cover crop before. Note one bed closest tomato stakes. That one got fish meal. Yep, the it's working. Patch to the back and right is a bit damp, so it's not growing quite as well.
One pass with discs, and it's just about incorporated. I'll wait a few days and give it another pass, then it will be ready for a fall planting of... lettuce? brassicas? Still pondering that one.
