Thanks for the input on this Bill. I’m curious about the scatter shoe – it sounds like just the thing for several crops we raise. I’m not real familiar yet with the Planet Junior accessories, is this pretty common? We’ve been using a push model and last year started using Planet Juniors on the tractor. I can check with our local tractor yards but I’m also wondering if there’s an online source anyone knows of? SE Colo From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of William H Shoemaker ….I like to make raised beds as early in the season as possible. Mine are about 16” across at the top and about 8” deep when shaped. A couple of rains and they’re ready for planting. I have a silt loam soil with about 3.5% OM so unless the soil turns up awfully lumpy, I don’t need to do too much soil prep. Once the beds have settled I begin planting with a Planet Junior. I use a scatter shoe, which creates a band about 2” wide and set it about 3/8” deep. I plant two rows about 12” apart, then lay drip tape down the middle of the bed. The two rows are about 3” from each side of the bed. |
