Is ridge till just another way to say planting on beds? Or is it something different entirely?
Pretty much, but we don't build our beds back up like guys in the south/southeast do. We usually run a stalk shredder in the fall, then a rolling stalk chopper in the spring, then plant on top of the old ridge. We cultivate and then build the ridge back up with a ridger or hiller, then lay out either aluminum or plastic irrigation pipe. It's the same idea, just a little different strategy. |
