It is a tool of simple drag and level design. Please read what I stated before. We have a soil that is sand based, that is high in humas, or rotted vegatation. Wood chips, and straw, are basic to keeping the soil moist and loose. Planting rye seed and then turning it under when half grown is knwn as 'green manure' for gardens. It enhances the Nitrogen, (amonia) in the soil. We use plant starts from georgia, and Alabama that are several weeks ahead in the growing season, and transplant them with a root dip of Urea, that gives them a big boost. We have a tank of wheels that we not only can side dress the rows but put a lb or two of fertilzer in the water to give the dry plants an extra kick. It does not take much help to keep plants growing in dry speels quite well. they need the water late when it comes time to set fruit. It is constant care, but can be rewarding with 6 weeks of harvesting.
It is a mindset to nurture and aid nature, without heavy chemicalising.
