mikrograavi

Mikrograavi is a Finnish term referring to a small, shallow excavation or ditch. It is commonly used in agricultural contexts to describe a system of drainage channels designed to improve soil conditions and manage water levels in fields. These shallow ditches are typically dug with a plow or a specialized machine and serve to remove excess surface water, preventing waterlogging and promoting healthier plant growth. The term can also be used more broadly to describe any small-scale excavation, such as those found in gardening or for laying small utility lines. The construction and maintenance of mikrograavi systems are important for optimizing land use, especially in areas with high rainfall or heavy soils.
