OPERATION
CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows toprevent
them from robbing nourishment and moisture from the
plants. At the same time, breaking up the upper layer of soli
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 Fig. 15).
