I'm addicted to auctions ever since we bought the property. Planning on a log hunting camp and planting anything that will grow....including ginseng since it is a southern facing uphill area. Need apple trees and planted some mulberry trees that got eaten by the deer. But my real motivation is that I bid $30 a few years ago on a Hardware store seed display and won. I got close to 300+ seed packs of veggies. Last year did a straw bale garden in the backyard and the heirloom tomato seeds germinated at about 30%. I figure time is not on my side to get the seeds in the ground I"m drafting some friends and their kids this spring to sow the seeds. Once in the ground, anybody that is part of it can simply go up and eat anything that grows. One rule, they have to save the heirloom seeds for future planting. That said, I've got about 1.5 acres to deal with. I have an old walk behind tiller but time is more costly than manpower. I'd put money into a harrow if I was sure it would do the job. Otherwise I rent what I need at the local Kubota dealer a few miles down the road. As a kid my Grandfather would turn over an acre or more with a shovel each year and I'd break the clumps with a rake. A shovel, rake and sledge hammer is all you need as a kid to skip the weights and work outs for the rest of your life. The tomatoes were the size of softballs. Shootie
