Cultivating is destroyingthe weeds

Page 11 highlights

CULTIVATING Cultivating is destroyingthe weeds between rows to preventthem from robbing nourishmentand moisturefrom the plants. At the same time, breaking up the upper layer of soil crustwill 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. \ J ( \ J ( \ y \ J \ J Lp-_ \ J 11

CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroyingthe weeds be-
tween rows to preventthem from robbing
nourishmentand moisturefrom the plants.
At the same time, breaking up the upper
layer of soil crustwill 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.
