| "I'm so confused!!!" as vinnie barbarino would say.:-) I keep reading things like "no-till", "strip till", "ridge till", "zone building", "vertical tillage", etc., etc. Ok, so what causes folks to use a different one than another? Is it location and soil types, or is it topography and crop rotaion, or how do you decide which one to use?
In a few of the threads down below, compaction is discussed, but very confusingly to me anyway. It has allways been my understanding that a "hard pan" however caused, is a bad thing. Is this an old and out of date teaching? Why would you only want your crops roots to go down and not to the side as well? Is leaving the hard soil beside the crops a harvesting priority, or a planting priority?
Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to learn something that I might someday start to apply in my area. | |
