The crimping method of taking advantage of natural mulch when planting. A short clip explaining the method.

I have considered buying a crimper, but they aren't cheap.

They're only expensive in brandon dollars. If you have gold dollars they're much more reasonable.   :cool:

I doubt the farm implement place is taking gold coins presently.

Rush Limbald once talked about being able to buy $5 gold coins from a private firm. He used them to buy things that actually cost more than $5. It didn?t take long before the government put a stop to that company making them.

You won't know unless/until you ask.

If you're doing it in relatively small areas you can make one fairly inexpensively with a 3' length of 2x4 really whatever size you want), bolt a piece of angle iron lengthwise on the bottom, then drill a couple holes on the ends and put a loot of rope for your hands. You can then step it down the row you're working. Not gonna go through acres I'm sure, but you could make it through a decent sized garden lot fairly quickly
Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity
