I have been out playing with my new 6.5ft KK disc. I loaded it with about 215lbs and tipped it forward to do the initial cutting into the ground. I am trying to prepare the soil for a lawn. The sandy areas I have turned into large sandboxes. Now matter how many times I go over the gravely areas I only seem to get down about 1-2 inches. Is there anything I can do to get deeper in these areas?
I also have some spots where I had some good growth of native grasses. I killed everything with roundup before discing. I have been able to cut into these old grassy areas but it wont mix the old grass into the dirt. Is there a trick to getting things well mixed?
The last question is about speed. I have been running about 3 mph. Once things dry out again, we got some good rain today, I need to go back over things to get the clumps broken up. What is the rule of thumb with the speed? Should I be moving relatively quick, 3-4mph, or slower like 2-3mph?
Thanks,
Eric
