PLANTER/FURROWER
This wonderful attachment makes the best planting and hilling
furrower you’ve ever seen. Does the work 5 times faster (and easier!)
than hand-hoeing. Uniform depth, shallow or deep. You’ll love it!
How to Mount
If you want to trench or furrow, place the tines so
the straight face of the blade impacts with the earth.
If you want minimum tillage, place the tines so that
the angled face of the blade impacts with the earth.
First, why waste time tilling up soil you’re going to
walk on all summer? Whenever you fertilize, plant,
weed or spray for insects you walk between
rows...Tilling this area is a waste of both your time
and money.
Second, by tilling your seed beds only, you create
a light fluffy seed bed which promotes rapid root
growth. When your roots hit the compact soil on the
sides and bottom of your seed bed trench, they will
draw on nature’s rich supply of stored nutrients and
moisture which travels upward in compact soil by
capillary action.
Minimum Tillage
(Tines in Cultivating Position)
If you have not tried minimum tillage we suggest
you experiment with your Planter/Furrower Tines
for this purpose. Minimum tillage saves you topsoil,
time and fertilizer. It also gives you better crop yields
and helps your garden survive prolonged dry spells.
When you practice minimum tillage, you spread
fertilizer along your seed rows only. Next you till
your seed bed only. You do not till the area between
rows. You do weed it with your cultivator when
necessary.
Certain crops are narrow rooted. Planter/ Furrower
Tines are ideal for these crops. Use Planter/Furrower
Tines for narrow rooted crops such as: onions,
carrots, beets, rutabaga, parsnips, lettuce, radish,
Jerusalem artichokes, beans (single row) and melon
crops.
Trenching and Furrowing
If you’re planting potatoes, strawberries or asparagus
...go over your seed beds lightly with your normal
tines. Next, put your Planter/Furrower tines on in
the tilling position and till deeply by letting the
machine run forward and then pulling back on it
slowly. Do this down the entire row. If you want
furrows for potatoes, strawberries or asparagus,
simply walk backward along the row, pulling the
Cultivator as if it were a hoe ... the hoeing motion
clears soil from the trench ... If your soil is heavy, let
the machine work at a slight angle to the bed.
Pulling it back on an angle helps clear earth from the
trench.
