Forgive me in advance, but I am a newbie to this and would like to know what a Bedder Plow is used for. :confused:

I want to make the rows for my garden like I see when I am driving around but I am not sure what to get.

I have a Kubota L2800 and a RTR tiller. I can pretty much guess what a turn over plow is used for but I want to make sure I get the right thing. Also would a 2 plow set be better or a 1 plow. Thanks again. Any help is appreciated.

Google "hipper plows" (aka bedder plows). My neighbor uses one for his veg garden (about an acre).

Our soil here is so porous that we use entirely different methodology. Our rows are arrow straight using the time tested masons string and stakes. Our rows are only 150' long, so there's no problem snapping the heavy string.

I don't use a bedder (hipper). Some of this depends on your goals and also on your local weather. The bedder makes a kind of running raised bed, if you will. This can be beneficial if you weather is prone to 2-3 inch deluges. The running raised bed assists in prevention of some drowning, along with other benefits.

Take a photo of what you want and post it here. It will be easier to figure out a recommendation.

Also, list your location and soil type (if known).

I have sandy loam soil and am in South East Texas. Usually (Last year not included) we get plenty of rain fall. I have figured out what I need from all of your help. Thank you.
