A friend of mine purchased raw timberland. It has been used to grow and harvest predominatly pine tree for the last 100 years. The goal in purchasing this land is to start a homestead with permaculture being the driving force. We will be clear cutting the plots we have chosen to grow on. Obviously a no till method is preferred but is tilling required initially? Will roots from previous trees be and issue? How do we get the soil ready in this wooded area for our first grow season?
