Lazy-bed

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003281

A traditional method of cultivation where soil is mounded into raised beds, often by digging trenches and piling the earth onto the adjacent strip. This technique improves drainage and aeration in wet or heavy soils, making it suitable for growing root crops like potatoes. It is a labor-intensive but effective way to prepare difficult ground.
