The Cosmeco Mod. B70 adjustable bed former for asparagus produces a bed or edge that can reach a height of 70 cm, with adjustable width. Its main advantage is to keep the soil soft and stable so that the shoots do not encounter any resistance during their growth. The bed forming, the last and most important step in the cultivation process, is the creation of the typical mounds of soil are created in which the asparagus grows. In order to obtain an optimal groove, it is essential to start with a finely worked soil, at least 25 cm deep.
The correct tillage carried out by the asparagus cultivator, thanks to rotors equipped with different types of blades, solves the problem of excessive soil compaction, restores soil porosity and promotes air and water circulation. This ensures rapid germination and optimal growing conditions for all horticultural crops, especially asparagus, which requires this specific and effective cultivation method.

The operation of the Asparagus Bed former is based on two side rotors that finely break up the soil and convey it to the center of the frame, creating a soft, trapezoidal profile that prevents excessive compaction. A larger chest facilitates the removal of the cultivated soil, preventing clogging and accumulation on the walls.
Asparagus bed formers are equipped with important new accessories, such as directional external cultivator discs. The latter make it possible to accumulate additional soil, which is useful for completing trunk filling or creating drainage furrows between trunks. In addition, crust-breaking plowshares help to loosen soil compacted by the passage of tractors.
After the bed has been formed, the mulch sheet is laid, an operation made easier and faster with the use of the mulch layer machine. Mulching performs several essential functions:
