Cleaning Your field

Cleaning your field regularly is very important; especially when its production time. This can be easily done when you have the appropriate machines. But if you don’t have those machines, there are still other ways to clean your field. And it’s by using hand tools.

           To know how to clean your field is crucial because if you don’t clean it well, you won’t get healthy plants. The use of scissors, knifes and hoes will make your job easier. Also remember to eat a good breakfast before you get started. You need a lot of energy to work on a farm. And remember that it’s preferable to work in the morning when the exposure to UV rays is less than in the rest of the day.

          The first step is hoeing. You will have to clean the spaces between the plant rows. The paths or spaces between the rows can be a good place for the weeds to gro. To begin, use a hoe and start to take out the weeds. Take out the bugger buses by cutting their trunks with the blade of the hoe; then pull the plant out. Next, clean all the smaller weeds. If the weeds are too small and widespread, do not leave them, instead you have to take out all of them because they are going to grow as big as a house in a few days. To take them out, you don’t even have to hit the ground hard. You can only push the hoe’s blade onto the soil and while pushing pull the hoe so you are taking out all of the small weeds. Remember to be careful when using the hoe or you might hurt your feet.

          The next step is to start cleaning the rows of plants. For that you might want to use garden gloves, so you don’t hurt your hands with the thorns or spikes of some weeds. You can use scissors and a knife. To begin, take out the bigger weeds by cutting them, and then take out the other smaller weeds by using the gloves. Remember that to take out medium size weeds, you should hold take out the weeds. This method is very useful if you don’t want to kill your growing plants. Do the same thing until you finish the whole row, and go to the next one until finish the complete field. Another tip is to take out the weeds from the roots because some weeds can grow back in a few days.

 The last step is to gather all of the weeds that were taken out. Use a rake to clean the spaces between the rows, and finally put all the weeds in black plastic bags and throw them away.

If you don’t have machines for cleaning you field, follow these steps. It is important to have your field clean if you want a good production.
