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

Fig.

15).
