Appendix 4: Side Forking or Deep Forking Sequence

Step 1. Standing on the path perpendicular to the bed, plunge a tilthing fork 6”–8” into the soil at a 45º angle.

Lift and, with a shaking motion, sift the soil through the tines of the fork. The finer particle will fall through first,

with the clods falling through last and remaining on the bed’s surface.
