DRAGNet experiment recovery underway

Two years after the last roto-tilling, some of the tilled plots in the DRAGNet experiment have almost completely recovered (in terms of vegetation). Others are recovering a bit more slowly. The tilled plots are all still lower in elevation than the other treatments (control, fertilize).
