Check out the website of Roxbury Farm in NY. They have a one and discuss
its virtues. I found one on tractorhouse.com.

Does anyone have experience using a Perfecta harrow for secondary tillage
and seed bed prep? Can you explain your experience?
And would anyone have a lead on such an implement for purchase around or
near Denver, Colorado?

I imagine a tillage schedule as such:
- chisel plow if needed
- lay compost and maybe disc it in. Would it be ok to just leave it on the
surface without discing?
- initiate secondary tillage with the Perfecta type harrow for final seed
bed prep.

What do you think? Any amendments to the suggested you might make?

food comes from the grocery store then you are going to defend to the
death the system that brings those to you because your life depends on
that; if your experience is that your water comes from a river and that
your food comes from a land base then you will defend those to the death
because your life depends on them. So part of the problem is that we have
become so dependent upon this system that is killing and exploiting us, it
has become almost impossible for us to imagine living outside of it and
it's very difficult physically for us to live outside of it."
