Overview

Rototiller
Soil pulverizing as part of soil preparation for Compressed Earth Block pressing - at the MicroHouse 3 Workshop, Friday, August 8, 2014.

A tractor implement that tills soil with blades via rotary action. It is a specialized form of Cultivator.

Field Use

During 2014 build of Faculty House:

Details

Cultivators stir and pulverize the soil, either before planting (to aerate the soil and prepare a smooth, loose seedbed) or after the crop has begun growing to kill weeds (controlled disturbance of the topsoil close to the crop plants kills the surrounding weeds by uprooting them, burying their leaves to disrupt their photosynthesis, or a combination of both). Cultivators are designed to disturb the soil in careful patterns, sparing the crop plants but disrupting the weeds.
