BUSHHARROW Meaning and
Definition
-
Bushharrow (noun) refers to an agricultural tool or implement used for tilling, cultivating, and preparing soil, particularly in areas with thick vegetation or bushes. The term can also be used as a verb to describe the action of using this tool.
As a noun, a bushharrow typically consists of multiple rows of sturdy, sharp-edged, or pointed tines or teeth securely fastened to a metal bar or frame. These tines help cut through grass, weeds, and undergrowth while aerating and turning over the upper layer of soil. The design allows it to effectively eliminate or reduce plant cover, clear debris, and facilitate the initial stages of land preparation.
When used as a verb, bushharrowing involves the process of employing a bushharrow to mechanically break up and mix the soil, remove unwanted vegetation, and create a more suitable bed for sowing seeds or planting crops. This agricultural practice is often conducted prior to plowing or other field preparations to enhance overall soil structure and nutrient availability.
Bushharrowing is commonly employed in farming, gardening, and land reclamation ventures, especially in areas experiencing rapid vegetation growth, such as wooded or overgrown regions. By utilizing this tool, farmers and gardeners can efficiently prepare the soil for subsequent agricultural activities, such as planting, seeding, or promoting healthy growth of grass and crops.

Etymology of BUSHHARROW
The word "Bushharrow" appears to be a combination of two separate words: "bush" and "harrow".
1. Bush: The word "bush" originated in the late Middle English period and can be traced back to the Old Norse word "buskr" and the Old High German word "busk". It originally referred to shrubs or plants with thick, woody stems. Over time, the term also came to represent a dense cluster of vegetation or a rural area with thick vegetation.
2. Harrow: The word "harrow" comes from the Old English word "hergian", which means "to harrow". "Harrow" is a farming implement consisting of a frame with spikes or sharp-edged discs or blades that is dragged over plowed land to break up clods, remove weeds, and smooth the soil.
