What is land renovation and why do I need it?

The main purpose of land renovation is to ensure that your land will be as prosperous and healthy as possible. Several factors, including your livestock, equipment, and weather conditions, can hinder your ability to maintain a healthy soil bed. The nutrients in the soil bed sustains your land’s vegetation, bringing your land to life. So, it is vital to keep this soil healthy and protected from the depletion of these nutrients.

The land renovator is designed to aerate, de-compact, create seed beds and control brush and weeds. This allows the soil to have better air flow, a soft soil structure ideal for water retention and root development and provides the proper conditions for the seeds to germinate. The Roller Chopper unit helps to prevent the spread of invasive species by keeping your land clear of cover that would otherwise allow them to make a home.

Soil compaction results in the loss of crops, grazing grass, hay, or foliage. When soil becomes compacted it creates “dry pan,“ a hard rock-like layer under the top soil that inhibits water saturation and stops the roots from receiving nutrients, water and oxygen. Dry pan also creates a barrier that stops seeds from rooting down far enough to become an established root. This results in the plant not being able to grow at all or dying quickly. Roller Chopper helps crack the dry pan allowing  water, organic matter, and air to penetrate deeper, creating more stable and healthy seed beds for your crops.
