Roller Crimper - Rodale Institute



We found another video of a roller crimper at work. This is from the Roldale Institute, a leader in sustainable farming research.

The Rodale Institute's cover crop roller is a ingenious low-tech tool that allows farmers to roll down a cover crop into a weed suppressing mulch mat and plant right into it, all in one pass. This tool marries two sustainable farming practices, organic and no till, into one low-input system that saves time and energy, produces bumper crops and sequesters carbon.
