Terrace Gardening
1. To create a terrace, start at the top of the slope and work down
Go back and forth across the first row. See Figure 22.
2. Each succeeding lower terrace is started by walking below the
terrace you are preparing. For added stability of the tiller, always
keep the uphill wheel in the soft, newly tilled soil. Do not till the
last 12" or more of the downhill outside edge of each terrace. This
untilled strip helps prevent the terraces from breaking apart and
washing downhill. It also provides a walking path between the
rows.
