Just burned one of my prairies on red clay. Beautiful day for a burn with my daughter home from college, friends, and neighbors. Its all about understanding your soil, proper planning, patience, and a lot of work. Life is good!
RAH, that's one of my favorite things to do. When it's safe to do of course.
SetterGuy, I fertilize the dam every year, and stick with a balanced low number fertilizer. Something like a cheap 10-10-10 mix. I apply it at half the recommended rate, and have never had any pond issues. I also concentrate on the upper half of the dam, because a certain amount will leach down with rain and watering.
