Abstract
Sandy soils of the Coastal Plain and Applachian Plateau can develop traffic pans or hardpans as a r esults of some conventional tillage practices. Techniques for disrupting these traffic pans ar e well documented for field cr op production. However, gardeners and small-scale veg etable producers can experience the same pr oblems when using garden tillers. Slit tillage using a modified, 5-hp, garden tiller in a sandy , Coastal Plain soil significantly increased yields of sweet corn, okra, and southern peas over more conventional tillage practices such as using a standard, front-tined or rear-tined garden tiller . Slit tillage disrupted traffic pans, r educed in-row soil com paction, and r esulted in yields as high or higher than
