SE IOWA | AGDEAL-- to answer your question
It would probably pull easier if we sliced the soil-- But slicing the soil is the last thing we want to do "here" . We do not want to pack those sidewalls hard to the point where water cannot filtrate through them. Believe me, studies have shown that it can take years for water to start coming through those "smeared" hard sidewalls.
With this "subsoiling", I can look down in the trench before dirt falls in and see cracks in the sidewall every 6-10". The sidewalls are all busted up and not smeared at all. Also, more dirt falls back on top of that tile easier.
The soil under the point of the soil is not disturbed at all. The bottom of that trench is hard, solid dirt. We do not worry at all about that tile settling- it can't. The bottom of my plow has a V point so the bottom of the trench is a "v" so the tile does not "oval" over time and under weight of dirt on top. I'm planning on changing it to a rounded bottom.
Good questions- thanks for the compliments! | |
