    Land preparation involves four main steps: clearing the land of unwanted plants, tilling the soil by plowing and breaking it into smaller pieces, making beds suited to the crop, and digging drains to remove excess water and supply water in dry seasons. Farmers and gardeners clear land using brush cutters, tractors with rotary cutters, or manually. They till the soil using disc plows pulled by tractors or animals, or hoes. Beds are shaped for different crops and spades are used to dig drains.
