Abstract:
An agricultural enhancement method for removing or overcoming soil fragipan, hardpan, or other natural and/or artificial soil compaction barriers is disclosed. These barriers prevent root and/or water penetration, which inhibits agricultural development. Consequently, removing and overcoming these barriers is beneficial to the soil and to agricultural yields.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of removing restrictive formations within soil, comprising:\n loading a charge spool with a charge mechanism onto a charge application plow; securing into position and guiding the charge mechanism through a plurality of routing pulleys and a cut-off assembly into a charge channel; advancing a tow vehicle while simultaneously moving vibration mechanism; lowering a plurality of shanks to a desired depth within the soil; rolling off the charge mechanism and locating the charge mechanism at a prescribed depth within the restrictive formation or just below it; determining whether desired span of charge mechanism is laid or not; severing the charge mechanism from a remaining quantity on the charge spool; attaching a detonator to the charge mechanism; covering the exposed surface portion of the charge mechanism with loose soil; attaching the detonator to a firing mechanism; and detonating the charge mechanism.
