Cultivation Guidelines For Garden Crops In Dry Weather
Frequent shallow cultivation is advised for most garden crops and in dry weather the depth should not exceed two inches. A dust mulch forms from surface stirring to conserve moisture, while a light mulch around plants preserves moisture without restricting air. Break crusts after rain and use a hand squeeze test to judge when to cultivate. Sandy soils dry faster and loosen more readily than clay soils. Thorough cultivation reduces weed problems and promotes growth.
