[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5021673, member: 2805"] I reclaimed an old 5 acre field filled with 3-7 inch diameter trash trees (mostly hackberry) 3rd week of August. They did a great job back mulching, but due to the density of the stand of trash timber, the amount of fresh mulch might have impacted my ability to replant immediately, so I raked and burned a lot of the surface mulch. 2 weeks after mulching, raking, then burning, I no till drilled in wheat, radishes, and clover. The following spring, I got 2.2 6ft bales per acre off that field. This winter's field is even better, I'm expecting well over 3 bales per acre next spring. another overgrown small field I had mulched as well (overgrown with the same trash and same density), but did not have them spend as much time back mulching, nor did I rake and burn the mulch. I literally broadcast crimson clover and turnips while they were mulching. I got a decent stand on that foodplot, but the soil was so devoid of lime and nutrients, it really didn't start to shine until this year (it has taken me over a year to get the pH up). It looks incredible this year, and the deer have been hammering it. We haven't had much competition from weeds or regrowth, but we've used a ton of herbicide since then. [/QUOTE]
