Ridging and Bed Preparation
Forming ridges, mounds and raised beds suited to crops such as potatoes, cassava, groundnuts and vegetables.
About Ridging and Bed Preparation
We shape the land into ridges or raised beds at the spacing your crop calls for, using tractor-drawn ridgers or hand labour on small or sloping plots. Well-formed ridges help with drainage, root development and easier weeding and harvesting.
What we do
- Marking of the layout and row spacing
- Ridging or bed forming by tractor or hand labour
- Alignment of ridges along the contour on sloping land
- Provision of drainage furrows where needed
- Check of ridge height and spacing
- Handover for planting
What we need from you to quote
- Crop to be planted and the ridge or bed spacing it needs
- Field size and slope
- Soil type and drainage conditions
- Whether the land has already been ploughed and harrowed
- Preferred work dates before planting
- Access and labour arrangements if hand ridging is required
