Ridging refers to the process of creating ridges or raised beds in a garden or field by piling soil or compost into long, narrow mounds. This technique helps to improve drainage, increase soil aeration, and provide better growing conditions for plants.
Ridge tying, on the other hand, is a method used in construction to secure roof trusses or rafters to the ridge beam of a building. This involves attaching metal straps or ties to the trusses and ridge beam to provide additional support and stability to the roof structure. Ridge tying is essential for ensuring the structural integrity of a building and preventing roof collapse.
