Everyone knows the story where the horse was lost for want of a nail, … the courier, … the battle, … the country. But what does this have to do with loosening? A few years ago, we set up a cultivator in a harsher part of the country. It wasn’t particularly pleasant, as the safety springs kept moving, with something
We loosen the soil to eliminate its harmful compaction. Over time and with continuous use, our soil becomes compacted and silted, resulting in water stagnation in spring, inability to absorb heavy rains, surface runoff, and rapid drying in summer. Plants suffer on such soil, drowning in water in spring, drying out in summer, with roots unable to grow downward and
Extreme weather phenomena, such as drought and torrential rains, highlight the importance of soil loosening processes. While maintaining infiltration capacity, we must choose a primary tillage method that results in the least water loss. Medium-depth loosening tools can be integrated into almost any soil cultivation technology, making it essential to have at least one on every farm. However, the type
