You've never seen a garden like this! Now worst soil on the farm is the best!

What happens here

The Ventrac 4500Y tractor, fitted with the power rake attachment, is driven over the piles of soil amendments to distribute them across the garden area. The power rake efficiently breaks down the piles of sand, gravel, and wood chip compost, spreading them into a uniform layer over the heavy clay soil. This mechanical process ensures an even application of amendments, which is critical for creating a consistent soil profile when tilled. Multiple passes are made to cover the entire designated area.

Goal: Evenly distribute all organic and mineral amendments across the garden plot.
