We have a sand paddock behind the horse barn, but without frequent use (since we don't have horses) it's become overrun with weeds. I tried to keep up with the weeding for about the first month we lived in the house, but then just got too overwhelmed!
The best solution we could find was to purchase a Harrow. Tractor Supply didn't have them in stock, so we ordered it and had to wait a few weeks for it to arrive.
It was all rolled up and tied together with wires...
We unrolled it...
Flipped the prongs the way we needed (there are 3 settings for each of the two sections of prongs), and hooked it up to the tractor...
Here's how it looked as we got started with the first pass... Progress!!
A few passes later, and it was looking really good! Hooray for the sand!
I'm not sure how frequently we'll need to do this, but I'm thinking it will get better and better each time, once the roots of the weeds are all gone.
I'll post an update in a few weeks, showing how it's going!
