With that said, the amount of compaction from all the heavier equipment in today’s era needs to be balanced. Along the practice of diverse tillage practices, every field is different with what exactly the tactics need to be. Conventional disking is good to keep the soil mixed and is common to come behind breaking the hard pan that sits 10-14 inches below the surface from too much compaction. Then there is vertical tillage that keeps the soil from washing away, but by working the top two inches, it allows for the crop residue to be mixed in for decomposing, which adds to soil fertility or a reboot of natural fertilizer. Rotor-tilling is available for leveling yards or loosening vegetable garden seed beds. If not possessed, the right piece for the job can be obtained without any problem.
