The relatively small and lightweight three-pronged dung-graip was used to spread dung along the mounded rows of soil in a paddock.
On Monday 21st December 1829, a fine day according to William Archer, he recorded “At the close of plowing today — 95 ridges dunged & covered in 51 not dunged” and the next day Convicts Foster, Moger, Jones & Alcock had two pair of bullocks in two carts “dunging the home fallow” for a crop of turnips.
