[Terrapreta] The Rotocult Horizontal Cultivator ....18 inches with one Pass!

[Shengar at aol.com]

The Rotocult Horizontal Cultivator is being hailed in all sectors of the 
agricultural industry as a  revolution that has now provided farmers with an  
'alternative' to using  the "traditional" methods of cultivation. It's a 
Horizontal orbital action which  slices the earth, incorporates trash without 
cultivating the inner space  resulting in less soil disturbance, greater moisture 
retention, significant fuel  and time savings and less maintenance. Now with one 
double row cultivator it is possible for one  man and a single machine to 
cultivate up to 1 hectare per hour with a single pass and follow up  with a planter 
almost immediately.

Here is a reply I just  received from the inventor; 
"Thank you for your  email Erich.  It was very interesting reading. 
Rotocult can cultivate  to a depth of 18” while incorporating organic matter 
in one  pass. 
Should you require  detailed information or a movie CD please contact  us.

Dear Mr.  Wilkinson,
 
I have a soil  engineering challenge, in short it involves incorporation of 
Bio-Char, at the  least cost to a depth of 3 feet.
 
I've talked to design  engineers at Deer, Catapillar and New Holland about 
sub-soilers, rippers and  large scale roto-tillers. We also kicked around ideas 
about injectors and  modified vibratory plows feeding charcoal instead of  
cable.
 
Your RotoCult looks  interesting for initial surface mixing before 
sub-soiling or  ripping.
 
I thought the current  news and links on Terra Preta soils and closed-loop 
pyrolysis would interest  you. 
 
 
Thanks,   Erich
