What is the market garden harrow?
Weed management in intensive organic market gardening
In this article, I'm going to tell you about an essential tool on our bio-intensive micro-farm: the currycomb harrow. I'll show you how we use this tool on our farm to manage weed growth on certain crops.
Advantages of the curtain harrow
The curry harrow is a tool specially designed to eliminate weeds around young seedlings in intensive organic market gardening. Its comb-like design enables efficient weeding while protecting emerging crops.
Operating techniques: To maximize the efficiency of the currycomb harrow, it is important to use it correctly. Adjust the height of the tool according to the growth stage of the crop, and maintain optimum working speed. These adjustments will ensure effective weed control without compromising the health of young plants.
