RIDGING – RIDGERS – HALF-RIDGERS
Preface
For ridging, the objective might be different:
– Avoid frost at the base of the vine, by creating a mound that covers the trunk of the vine.
– Drain away excess water to prevent the vines from stagnating in the humidity during the winter (depending on regional hydrometric differences).
– Bury weeds and grasses so that they will rot. This operation can be repeated several times a year.
– Dig a furrow as deep as possible in poor terrains in order to add soil-enriching agents (manures.)
– Improve soil structure and aeration for microbial activity.
– To facilitate a deeper soil environment and to optimize the water supply of the vine.

For ridging, depending on the region and the soil, symmetrical ridgers or half-ridgers are used.
