Yeah a leaf blower for sure. I"m going to make a note of that myself :)

I was wondering the same and that is what constitutes spring cleaning for a barn? I did invest in a cheap power washer to make more thorough cleaning of the horse stalls easier. I guess another task that might only be done a couple times a year is pulling out the pallets the hay sits on and...

I wouldn't think so except normal stuff like make sure there's water and some food. Don't know what condition your barn is but I'm assuming she'll find a secluded place to have her babies.

In Indiana it's 6" below the frostline which puts it at 42" (36" frostline).

I did something similar during a warm spell in January I believe it was. I ran a home made harrow over an area and made a nice seed bed. Spread some pasture mix and ran over again with the weight of the mower. I'll be interested to see how it does, although the horses have walked all over it...

Got it and thanks again.

Also good to know. I'm wondering though if running the chain harrow over it would just pull the seed back up? Or would that help it maintain good seed-soil contact? Also in my case I have to keep the horses off once I seed because they're pretty rough on the ground. They'll pound it more...

Terrific plan @Ken Sweet . I have the same situation where a couple horses have severely over grazed the field. The challenge I'll have is waiting for the ground to be dry enough to work which generally puts it late spring.

I stack my square bales on pallets which helps but until I put a layer of plastic on the ground to keep ground moisture down I have the same issue. I also like pallets because it provides a passage for air to flow under the bottom layer.
