The reason is that \u00a0Pauls\u2019 arable area is mainly on sandy soils which are light, but because of the small sandy grains it is compacting and hardening very easily and thus the plant roots are unable to reach the deeper soil profile. Using the Terraland will possibly save the plant in the dry season when the roots are deep enough and are reaching the wet soil. The shape of the Terraland tine matched with the 80mm chisels did a great job of bringing up the soil from below with a higher clay content which increases the soils nutrient holding capacity and increases Potassium content of the topsoil. It also reduces non wetting sand as it is diluted with clay resulting from the mixing action of the Terraland. The Terraland leaves the soil enriched with extra nutrient mixed well throughout the profile with no hard pans down to 55cm and firms and evenly mixes the topsoil with the tadem spikey roller. The soil is left in excellent condition ready for seeding.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"hr-section\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"one-half-section\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/news.bednar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Australian-farmers-get-the-Terraland-TO-experience-3.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n<div class=\"hr-section\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"text-block-grey text-block-equal-height2\"><br \/>\nProbe to proove that the Terraland is ripping deep enough and mixing properly.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"one-half-section\"><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/news.bednar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Australian-farmers-get-the-Terraland-TO-experience-4.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n<div class=\"hr-section\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"text-block-grey text-block-equal-height2\"><br \/>\nRESULT: On the right hand side of the ruler you can see the obvious difference of the crop height (seeding was at the same time).<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"hr-section\"><\/div><\/p>\n<h2>GALLERY<\/h2>\n<div class=\"hr-section\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"hr-section\"><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Terraland technology of deep ripping and soil mixing, is suitable for most farmers in Europe.
