CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroying the weeds
between rows to prevent them from robbing nourishment
and moisture from the
plants, At the same time, breaking up the
upper layer of soil crust wilt help retain
moisture in the soilo Best digging depth is
1" to 3".
A properly adjusted tiller will dig with little
effort from the operator.
o Tilling is digging into, turning over, and
breaking up packed soil before planting°
Loose, unpacked soil helps root growth.
Best tilling depth iS 4" to 6", A tiller will
also clear the soil of unwanted vegetation. The decomposition
of this vegetable matter enriches the soil.
You will probably not need to use the
