John,
Your descriptive reply is probably very complete, but to a person from the 
midwest, it is not understandable.  Would appreciate further elaboration, 
using different terms.
TIA, Herb

Charlie, we bed the land and then drive on top of the row and run just the
rear sweeps to open them. Generally we don't bed it too high initially or
you'll never get any dirt up to the plants.

Ron when I was growing up that was pretty much standard for all garden rows
as well as tobacco rows.
Then we had a board or something similar to a grader blade that knocked off
the top of the row to
make a flat spot for planting.  Folks still do it here for gardens.   For
big time farming it's all done
with one machine as Grant described.

Has anyone used a lister to prepare a potato patch for planting?
