Making trenches with tiller/weeder to bury tea prunungs and enhancing soil organic carbon

This weeder cum tiller can be used to prepare small trenches in the mid path of tea rows. Loosen soil in trench is removed with a mamoty n pruned tea branches are chopped and buried in. This increases Soil Organic Matter (SOM) and enhances fertilizer and moisture retention capacity of the soil. Further, SOM improves soil aeration and activities of soil micro and macro organisms.
