Product overview
Built for planting basin preparation and conservation agriculture
In the face of El Niño and unpredictable rainfall, every drop counts. Instead of a long furrow where water can wash away topsoil, the ox-drawn Basin Digger creates precise, deep basins — water pockets that collect and hold rainwater exactly where the roots need it, stop runoff from carrying away fertile soil, and keep soil moisture higher for longer so crops survive between rains.
Don't wait for the rain — be ready for it.
Animal drawn equipment for planting basin preparation and conservation agriculture, supplied, serviced and supported through Mealie Brand branches in Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare and Chiredzi.
