   Break crop of Mustard being chopped and rotavated into the soil. This reduces the amounts of weeds and pests in the soil, whilst at the same time, improves soil fertility and soil structure. The strawberry beds are then made and covered by machine. Under the polythene, a trickle pipe is laid, to carry water and feed to the plants.
