OPERATION

CULTIVATING

Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to pre

vent 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" to 3“ (2.5"7.5 cm). Lower the outer side shields to

protect small plants from being buried.

* 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 (See Rg. 15).

» Replace clevis pin and hairpin clip on inside of wheel

and remove blocks.

» Repeat preceding steps on left hand side.

NOTE: In extremely rough conditions and while cultivating,

the wheels should be moved outward on the axle for

increased stability.
