CULTiVATiNG

Cultivatingis destroyingthe weeds be- tween rows to preventthem from robbing nourishmentand moisturefrom 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"-3".

You will probably not needto use the depth stake. Begin by tipping the depth stake forward until it is held by the stake spring.

Cultivate up and downthe rows at a speed which will allow tines to uproot weeds and leavethe ground in rough condition, promoting no further growth of weeds and grass.
