The sixth pass will start to knock down the se-
cond
row of stalks carefully guiding the stalks
between the LEFT wheel and the transmission
case. The process is repeated until the last row
of stalks is down, chopped and tilled under in
the opposite direction from which itwas knock-
ed down-see Photo 5/57.
When it's completed,
you will know that you
have
done the best possible with your corn-
stalk residue to build up the mineral content
and structure of your soil.
Allow the cornstalks to lie in the ground un-
disturbed for a week to give the active soil
life a chance
to start decomposition and diges-
tion of the stalks. Then, come back and till in
the residue
of the stalks as deeply as you can.
This probably will take only one overlapping
pass
through the garden. Then, you're ready to
plant a new crop or a cover crop.

Guide the tiller so that
the
cornstalks go between the left
wheel and the transmission case.
(Photo 5/53) Use full power to chop
the stalks as they are knocked down.
(Photo 5/54) Third pass goes back
over stalks.
(Photo 5/55) Fourth pass is between
