Hello OSU Extension, We have a few acres of land that we need help learning how to manage properly. It is originally riparian/floodplain, turned at field, and now is a mix of tall grasses, sweet pea, blackberry, thistle and natives (snowberry, horsetail). I would like to control the weeds and let the natives grow. I would also like to rebuild the soil to be able to grow food eventually. We’ve mowed some sections to manage the weeds, but i am concerned about drying out the soil. Can you please provide some recommendations or resources for me to learn from? Thanks so much, Emily
