Cultivation
Growing on a small-scale requires maximum efficiency to allow for economic viability. For this reason, small-scale agricultural operations have the potential to be incredibly productive. To reach this level of efficiency, it is important to be equipped with appropriate tools and technologies. These purpose-designed tools allow for maximum outputs with minimum inputs, thereby providing the greatest economic gain.
When growing in a high tunnel, specifically, it is important to use tools that minimize soil compaction and maximize usable space while still performing the necessary function. For instance, in an outdoor growing setting, a chisel plow is a great cultivation tool, but a broadfork or claw cultivator are far more efficient tools in a high tunnel.
