civilpek Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 thanks Peter rite well that means i need to get a ridger next, after its ploughed can you go straight in with the ridger or do you have to powerharrow it first or anything? what if the earth is all lumpy or clayey how would ridging work out then?

AndyB Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 A fairly average set-up/batting order would be - plough - bed form (could be powered) - de-stone - plant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
