π± Why Shallow Cultivation Matters
Effective weed control begins before weeds appear. The Wheel Hoe Sweeps cut a narrow band of soil just below the surface, severing weed roots while keeping deeper soil and organic layers intact. This shallow cultivation method:
- πΈ Preserves soil structure and beneficial organisms
- πΈ Prevents weed germination by disrupting sprouts
- πΈ Reduces moisture loss and soil erosion
- πΈ Limits soil compaction and hardpan formation
By using the Wheel Hoe Sweeps for routine shallow cultivation, youβre not only controlling weeds but also promoting healthier soil and stronger plant growth. π»
