Rain is the final test of how flat i got the pasture; and it's pretty darned flat. A few puddles here or there, none deeper than 2". So I spent part of today connecting the dots to make sure that the water drained.
To do this I've got a middle buster plow that's designed to go down a row of potatoes and turn them over for harvesting - but it works well for temporary ditches. I only have to go down an inch or two, but it's no trouble to do a deeper trench.
We seeded the majority of it by hand today; took 3 people about 90 minutes to spread 350lb of grass seed. I'll go over it with a roller to tamp the grass seed down, and then that's it until next spring.
Whew. Glad to get that done and over with.
