“Lorenzo’s Secret” – The “Rotavator Mulch-Maker” Of Frank A Hilario, A 60-Year Secret Hidden From Mechanical Minds!

This article of mine is about how to best use a rotavator. All over the world, the rotavator manufacturers think they know their respective rotavators – yes, but they don’t know the best use of it! Frank A Hilario’s “Rotavator Mulch-Maker,” sleeping for 6 decades!

Over the decades, I have stayed interested in the rotavator because it’s big, and I have a bigger job for it – once I have reinvented it.

How big is the rotavator market worldwide? Here are some data – according to Global Info Research (02 Jan 2024, globalinforesearch.com): The global market size is US$ 1.71 billion in 2023 and is forecast to increase to US$ 2.05 billion in 2030. A billion-dollar industry!

Of the global rotavator market, Data Bridge has this list of 29 countries (databridgemarketresearch.com):

Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, UAE, UK, and the US.

However many hunbreds they are, all those rotavator makers are talking about is how that machine can cultivate soils, but not how it can help farmers enrich their fields! Mechanical minds.

And why should I be concerned about the global rotavator status when I am simply a Filipino Agriculturist and not an inventor of anything? Because I have a research & development (R&D) project in mind, the “Rotavator Mulch-Maker.”

R&D for a machine?! This comes from the fact that I have discovered – and proven by experience – that a rotavator can be used, as is, to produce a surface mulch, if you know how to operate the rotavator for its maximum performance.

How do the manufacturers look at a rotavator anyway? Stats Market Research says (statsmarketresearch.com):

“Rotavator is tractor-drawn agricultural implement used for loosening the upper layer of soil to create seedbed, remove, and mix residual of maize, wheat, sugarcane, and other residues.”

However many hundreds they are, each of those rotavator makers is talking about how that machine can cultivate soils, but not how the rotavator can help farmers enrich their fields!

And why should I be worried about the global rotavator failure when I am simply a Filipino Agriculturist and not a manufacturer of anything? Because I have this R&D project in mind, like I said; via this project, the rotavator will be reinvented to be able to automatically produce an organic mulch all over the field even if the operator is a novice, an unlearned person, or a hired hand with no prior experience in farming – my Mulch-Maker will take care of everything!

I have already written about this; see my April 2020 article “IRRI, PhilRice, The Rotavator & Lorenzo’s Secret” (Communication For Development, blogspot.com). The mechanical redesign for my proposed Mulch-Maker is my old “Lorenzo’s Secret.”

If that succeeds, as I am sure it will, my rotavator sponsor will become a billionaire overnight!

What I need is a company sponsor, source of funds for that Mulch-Maker project – to the amount of US$ 100,000.

Any takers?@517

Garden Super Power Rotavator – It Can Create An Organic Compost That Farmers & Gardeners Don’t/Should Know About!

They recognized the wealth their rotavator could bring to a farmer or gardener, but they have so far failed to preach it and enrich the user! Garden Super Power (GSP) declares that its rotavator “will break the weeds and other growth up and will bury the remains into the soil so that they act as a form of organic compost” ( gardensuperpower.com ). That is the best claim so far in my wide, wide google search for what the rotavator can do for the good of the farmer! The rotavator creating an automatic “organic compost” is what I have termed “Lorenzo’s Secret” – in my earlier article, “IRRI, PhilRice, The Rotavator & Lorenzo’s Secret” (27 April 2020, THiNK Journalism, blogspot.com ), I say: “That 1965, I was instructing the driver of the big tractor not to set the blades to any depth but just drive through the field, and because the Howard rotavator was heavy, it cut into the soil anyway, about 2-3 inches, which is what I wanted. My brother-in-law Lorenzo Casasus , was there at...

Farmers! – How To Maximize The Use Of The Rotavator; Compare Your “Cut-Throw Cultivation” Versus FAH’s “Cut-Root Cultivation”!

An Agriculturist (UP Los Baños, 1965), son of a farmer, I have a love affair of 6 decades with the rotavator! In my hometown Asingan, Pangasinan, it was love at first sight when I saw my first big Howard tractor rotavator – man falling for a machine, can you imagine that?! Let me continue the story by quoting myself from my article “IRRI, PhilRice, The Rotavator & Lorenzo’s Secret” (27 April 2020, THiNK Journalism , blogspot.com ): “That 1965, I was instructing the driver of the big tractor not to set the blades to any depth but just drive through the field, and because the Howard rotavator was heavy, it cut into the soil anyway, about 2-3 inches, which is what I wanted. My brother-in-law Lorenzo Casasus , was there at that time; in later years he copied the shallow cultivation with his Kuliglig hand tractor and rototiller. The results? His neighbors could not match his yields even if they tried to copy all his methods – he did not tell them about the magic that his rototiller ...
