This is what I have managed to cull from the internet

Binage: to hoe, a superficial plough just a few inches deep to aerate the soil and turn in the weeds.

Griffage: a form of ploughing that helps to loosen and aerate soils that have become compacted as a result of man and machines

Debuttage: removing the mound of earth around the plant

Is there a clear cut difference between binage and griffage?

Assuming all three are practiced in what months and in what sequence would each be done?
