Were it me, and it has been, I would run the biggest available chisel tooth where the
 
row is planned, then my TroyBilt with the hiller furrower without the wings, this furrow I would fill
 
with compost, plant the parsnips, drip as needed or every 2 weeks with water running
 
200ppm N of water soluable 20-20-20.
 
Keep in mind that with heavy mulch, even whole small square bales of hay, depending  on climate,
 
this is a crop which can be harvested from October to June from one planting.
 
 
 
OMMV

We want to grow parsnips.  We have heavy clay soil with a high ph, any
suggestions on which variety may be the most well suited?
