* To build a full firm bed with no hollow spots, soil has to be
prepared properly.
* Proper soil moisture is important to form nice firm beds. For best
results, soil should not be powder dry or in muddy condition.
* There are many different types of soil. You will need to know what
soil preparation works best with your soil.
* Machine performs the best if plowed 6” to 8” deep.
* Soil should be harrowed or roto-tilled until free of sod lumps.
* Sandy loam soils are the easiest to make square, uniform beds.
