I have 3 horses on 8 acres, so upkeep is pretty simple.

I harrow the fields with diamond harrows, that I pull with my quad. Paddocks and the areas around feed bins are picked up and dumped in our gully. I've been dumping manure, kitchen scraps and garden trimmings down there for 9 years now and every spring I get a whole new 'crop' of whatever was dumped. This year I have pumpkins, squash, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, sunflowers, Morning Glory and Petunias growing at random down there.
