E. Abstraction
Lowland or low soil needs to be well-prepared. This means that the soil surface is
weed-free, porous, and levelled to make planting easier. Proper soil preparation serves
to level the field for uniform distribution of irrigation water, fertilizer, and pesticides. It
also prevents or minimizes water to overflow from the land area.
Land or soil preparation may be divided into two stages:
1. Primary tillage or plowing - this is the process of breaking up the soil. It can be
accomplished by using a power tiller or moldboard plow hitched to a carabao or
in some areas, they use cow as substitute.
2. Harrowing - the easiest way to harrow a field is leaving just enough water
in the field to expose the high and low spots. But in some areas, it uses a native spike-
toothed wooden harrow commonly drawn by an animal like plowing. This farm
implement is good for bringing clods of soil to the surface and is effective in breaking
soil into smaller bits. It could also destroy weeds at the same time.
However, if you are planning to start a garden in your school or backyard, here are
simple ways to follow on how to prepare the soil before planting.
1. Remove all the unimportant things that can stop the growth of your crops or
plants. This might be tree branches that can hinder sunlight, humps, and rocks.
2. Measure and place 4 markers to have a bed soil for planting.
3. Tie the 4 markers together to encircle the bed or area for planting.
4. Using a grab hoe or a fork tip hoe, dig or till the soil properly. Pulverized it by
using a fork.
5. Place fertilizer on top of the soil. If it is compost, incorporate it well through
harrowing or pulverizing.
6. Use a rake in levelling the soil. Water the prepared bed soil.
7. Repeat the same procedure if the area is big enough for other crops to be
planted.
