every third crop, with very shallow intermediate ploughing with the two share plough, is the best method of using them, and from which he has received the greatest benefit.
The advantages arising from this mode of practice he thus describes; the deep ploughing brings up fresh earth for the nourishment of the Plants; by not repeating it two often, the moisture is retained in the Soil; being not too loose to draw off the wet, and yet not too hard to impede the penetration of the roots of the plants into it. The shallow ploughings with the two share plough loosen the soil sufficiently for the seed to take root, untill it has sufficient strength to penetrate into the first broken earth. Frequent ploughings he thinks bring up the buried seeds of annual weeds so abundantly, that in a grain crop it is difficult to destroy them. When the land is constantly ploughed to the same depth, the rain water is lodged between the loosened and unmoved earth, where it stagnates and injures instead of assisting the vegetation.
