Western Oregon | We plow row planted peppermint 5" deep with a 5 btm Oliver 14" mounted plow behind a 3020 in 5th gear, power shift. 14" Oliver plows were made adjustable to be 12" or 16". We plow to spread the roots and leave ground open for the winter. Planted in fall in rows, harvested in August, roots dug in September down the rows, then plow to spread roots. 12" makes the smoothest job, 2 passes with roller harrow at 2 different 60 degree angles to the rows, in early May before peppermint begins to grow....James
