CULTIVATING

Cultivating is destroying the weeds be

tween rows to prevent them from robbing

nourishment and moisture from the plants.

At the same time, breaking up the upper

layer of soil crust will help retain moisture
in the soil. Best digging depth is 1 "-3".
• You will probably not need to use the

depth stake. Begin by tipping the depth
stake forward until it is held by the stake
spring.

• Cultivate up and down the rows at a

speed which will allow tines to uproot
weeds and leave the ground in rough
condition, promoting no further growth
of weeds and grass.
