Emile shows here the stages of preparation of the cultivation mounds. First step, the campagnole, this tool invented by Vincent Legris is manufactured by La Fabriculture. It is an improved broadfork, with two wheels to facilitate its movement. It has a double row of tines, one penetrating the ground, while the second stays on the surface and breaks the clods by keeping the soil on the cultivation mounds. It is very effective for loosening a plot when setting up a new cultivation area. Next step, the boards are flattened and covered with compost.
Warning: in this video, the campagnole is used while moving forward. It is recommended that you use it while moving backwards, so as not to trample the soil you have just aerated.
