Claims20
A system for improving soil comprising a carrier, a soil mixing tool, at least one tool advance additive, and at least one colloidal binding or impermeable material system.
A method for creating an improved soil in a column or trench comprising:
- demoulding soil using a soil mixing tool while concurrently ejecting at least one tool advance additive from at least one nozzle associated with the soil mixing tool into the soil and mixing the soil with the at least one tool advance additive thereby creating a improved soil column or trench.
A system for improving soil comprising a carrier, a soil mixing tool having a chassis including two axles driving a revolving chain fitted with ground engaging blades and wear teeth, at least one tool advance additive, and at least one colloidal binding or impermeable or agricultural soil amending material system.
A soil mixing tool comprising:
- at least one motor driven axle including at least one drum comprising soil modifying teeth, wherein the at least one motor driven axel is configured to drive sprockets and chains including cutting blades;
- and at least one nozzle configured to expel at least one TAA.
