Heat and rain this summer do not only promote fungal diseases, herbs also love humid soil. They proliferate and grow very quickly. Such a year, it's better to avoid them to extand in the vines.
In this case, it's our good ol "Bob" who returned to action. "Bob", it's the name of the tractor built in 1979 by the "Bobard" company on which whe installed the ploughs. It's lightweight and equipped with low tread tires. It's perfect to take care ofthe soil and avoid compacting it after being aeretad and opened.
Between the front and rear wheels, a traditional system, with "V" blades opens the soil in the middle of the road of vine.
On the sides, a flat blade articulated and equipped with a reminder spring go under the vines and collapse when it come in contact with the cep.
On the back, three claws open the soil again after the tractor goes..
With this system, the roots of the plants and herbs are no more in contact with the ground, and so they naturaly die..
