Thanks Michael that was very interesting, I didn't know about these
techniques. Would think they'd be very interesting in dry areas. Not
usually our case!

Wasn't really going to comment on this thread as I know nothing about it,
but as it happens am reading Earnest Wilson's 1913 memoir of traveling
and plant hunting in Western China and Thibet; he mentions the
agricultural practice of the peasants is to spread their waste directly
in the highland fields, without composting. This earth is otherwise very
nutrient poor. Wilson doesn't comment on this beyond saying they've been
doing it for millenia.

Hope you're enjoying the early spring, they say finally the wind is
changing to the west in a couple of days. None too soon, it's very dry.
