Brian -

There are plenty of practical ideas for equipment, tools, and
techniques to handle three acres more efficiently.
But.... I'm interested to hear the current methods and tools
you are employing to handle three acres of production "by hand."

For example, how to you prepare soil for seeding and transplanting,
how do you incorporate cover crops and soil amendments, what crops
you are raising, the spacings for rows and beds, tools and techniques
used to establish crops and keep weeded, mulches used, where
do you live geographically and climatically, etc.

Does anyone use small farm equipment to farm their land? We are doing three acres of vegetable by hand, and it is tough.

Thanks in advance for anyone who responds.
