We are IMT Underground Products and we manufacture "The Edge" vibratory plow blade line. The plow blade with the replaceable cutting edge.
We are trying several different ways to market our products and we need feedback to see how it is working.
So my question is, how many people have heard of our product and how many have seen our product in person. And of those who have, how?

Thank you for your feedback.

Maybe you could tell us more about your product as I have never heard of it.

The concept behind our product is that we have a replaceable cutting edge or insert. So when the plow blade wears out all you do is replace the cutting edge instead of replacing the whole blade. In doing this you will save money on the cost of just the cutting edge and not replacing the whole blade. And not only that but contractors are telling us that they are able to pull in their jobs faster in turn saving man hours. The fact that we have a cerated cutting edge has proven to cut through roots faster and cleaner. We have sold our products through irrigation supply dealers for four seasons now in 24 states.

I believe to plough a field is counter productive. The top 10cm of the soil contain all the micro organisms necessary to create optimum condition for the plants to grow optimally. If you plough the field you bury all this deep down where there is no oxygen for these organisms to survive and they die out. It will take a long time for the sterile underground that you have moved to the top to become as fertile as the old topsoil was.

There are several impliments available to mulch the old crop or weeds and mix it with the topsoil. This stimulates the micro organisms to make humus for the next crop. Planters are even available to plant your new crop in soil that have not been tilled at all. The less you disturb the soil, the less weeds will germinate.
The evaporation of soil moisture will also be less and in that way you conserve water and need to irrigate less.

This have been proven in South Africa where we often have severe droughts.
