I wanted to start now but as you said its better to prepare the soil 1st and when spring comes see what to cultivate make sell to make some money for leaving. Can i crow some fruit trees now with the other preparation (Clover with other seeds as said before, and may be some legumes for animals food).

Yes but they have tractors to clear the lines from weed and also before they cultivate they plow the land. So in order to get rid of the weed i thought to cultivate clover as a cover. So now that the farm is without weed i have to sow the clover.
Do i have to do all the farm or the lines i want use?
How am i going to sow the other plant i have mentioned earlier? (i mean i have to get read of the clover at the lines where i will sow the plants or i have to get read clover on round patterns where i will throw the seed (plant seeds)? All the seed from all the plant are going to be 20 inch in line distance and from line to line 40 inch except some lines that are going to be 60. So the clover is going to be in between the lines.
There is a well at the farm where i can get plenty of water but i dont want to waste it because i will share it with another farmer.

Hi again,
I leave in north Greece. The land in in a valley where there are many farmers that they use the conservative farming method (chemicals) so i thing that i can not have a really natural farm but i can have almost a natural farm . Here there are rains until now we had 20 inches of rain. The previous farmer hasn't taken the stalks of the corn but they are about 4-5 inches tall.So i need the clover as a cover crop. I want also to plant some legumes all for eating so that i can sell them to get some money. The legumes are Broad bean,lentils,Chickpea(Cicer arietinum), Faba Bean,peas (Pisum sativum L). I will also cultivate lettuce,spinach,broccoli. So all of this i know people that cultivate them in rows with plastic hoses that have holes which drops water slowly (1.05 gallons/hour). So can i cultivate clover 1st and then make many small round areas in lines and throw the seed there so that i can put the plastic pipes and irrigate them. But the clover how am i going to irrigate it? Are this ok or sound craze?
This is for the first 1year (the plants are going to change of course) after that i am planing to start making a more natural farm, like putting fruit trees.Now there are some big trees at the edge of the farm.

Hallo,
thanks again but i dont understand the steps.
1)The previous farmer has catted the corn with the machine. So i leave the root.
2)I must choose how to establish the clover with some extra seed as James Colbert have mentioned. I dont have any irrigation system so i have to establish it from the beginning. Could you please tell me the ways i can irrigate the clover?
3)I want to take production of legumes plants. So when and how am i going to cultivate them. By when i mean am i going to through the legumes seed in the same time with clover (so i have to make seed balls) or i have to wait the clover to establish and then make lines and put the legumes seed there. (so i can irrigate with plastic pipes having on them sprinklers (drops)

Thanks you for your answers,
So if i have understood correctly i will make seed balls. Its better to have a more diversify flora on the ground. So my question is what about legumes seeds?Am i going to mix the seeds with the others(the seed james mention or i am going to make balls and through them after a couple of weeks? What about the irrigation system? I forgot to tell you that i have to irrigate after midnight or too early before day starts. So i thing that i can irrigate with only fixed plastic pipes? So how can i water the plant if i through seed balls at no fixed locations?

Hallo,
I have 1.6 Hectares of land that it was previously cultivated with corn (for many years). Now i want to start my new farm. So i will say my thinking end i want to tell me if a make any mistake.
1)Leave the corn root in ground.
2)Sow Crawler clover (locally cultivated). I do not know the distance between the planted seeds αnd also if am i going to plant the hole farm or in rectangles leaving rows for the legumes plants (if referent how am i going to plant legumes weed and when)? I don't have the money for machines.
Thanks and i am looking forward to your answer.
