Step 2. Prepare your land properly<br />
The method of land preparation depends on soil type and depth of the water table.<br />
Practice minimum tillage in sandy soil <strong>to</strong><br />
conserve soil, <strong>org</strong>anic matter, moisture, and<br />
reduce soil erosion.<br />
Prepare land <strong>to</strong> improve soil contact with stem cuttings.<br />
In shallow or hard soils, increase <strong>to</strong>psoil volume per plant<br />
for better establishment.<br />
Make ridges or mounds <strong>to</strong> reduce waterlogging in<br />
poorly drained soils.<br />
Poor land preparation results in poor plant establishment and increased weed competition. 4
