2.
Each succeeding lower terrace is started by walking below the terrace you
are preparing. For added stability of the tiller, always keep the uphill wheel
in the soft, newly tilled soil. Do not till the last 12" or more of the downhill
outside edge of each terrace. This untilled strip helps prevent the terraces
from breaking apart and washing downhill. It also provides a walking path
between the rows.
