Snapshot

Ridge and furrow is an archaeological pattern of ridges (Medieval Latin sliones) and troughs created by a system of ploughing used in Europe during the Middle Ages, typical of the open field system. It is also known as rig (or rigg) and furrow, mostly in the North East of England and in Scotland. Ridge and furrow topography was a result of ploughing with non-reversible ploughs on the same strip of land each year. It is visible on land that was ploughed in the Middle Ages, but which has not been ploughed since then. No actively ploughed ridge and furrow survives.

• The Ridger is used for making ridges for row crops such as Sugercane, Potato, chillies, tobacco, banana etc. as well as for opening furrows for water flow.
• The ridger should be used when the soil is slightly moist and used only after tilling the land once or twice.
• The Ridger is fitted on the Rotary assembly with the help of a special bolt & nut.
