Cultivating - Craftsman 917.299011 Owner's Manual

CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroyingthe weeds be-
tween rows to preventthem from robbing
nourishmentand moisturefrom the plants.
At the same time, breaking up the upper
layer of soil crustwill help retain moisture
in the soil. Best digging depth is 1"-3".
• You will probably not need to use the
depth stake. Begin by tipping the depth
stake forward until it is held by the stake
spring.
• Cultivate up and down the rows at a
speed which will allow tines to uproot
weeds and leave the ground in rough
condition, promoting no further growth
of weeds and grass.
