									This fall as part of my patch clean-up/prep for next year I got out my ripper shank & have ripped everything.  It is good to do it now because sometimes spring weather does not cooperate.  One thing I like about ripping is how it tears up tree roots which have made their way into my patch to steal my nutrients & water!  I'm always surprised at how a tree that is �way over there� can grow roots into my patch.
