Well we got the majority of it knocked out yesterday afternoon. We went in an pulled the weeds by hand clearing it out to just about bare soil. Then I went over the spots we cleared and sprayed it. We're going to go back out and finish it off sometime next week. It didn't rain last night so the herbicide has had sufficient time to dry onto whatever was still exposed and soak into the soil slightly to hopefully kill off any seeds that remained.

My plan of attack for fertilizing and planting has changed a little. I met one of the club members yesterday that has a tractor and disk. I think I'm going to let the herbicide sit for a couple weeks and then make plans to meet this fella out there right before a good rain. Then I plan to broadcast the fertilizer and the seed at the same time and have him disk it into the soil. This will allow the fertilizer to mix into the soil well and will also give me the seed-to-soil contact I need. Then the good rain should finish the job for me.

Sounds a lot better than tilling it again with a push tiller. What do you guys think about that?
