No-till
http://www.rodaleinstitute.org/20101...rganic-no-till
Jeff Moyer -- Championing organic no-till Preserving the health in the soil while eliminating weeds. Jeff Moyer has been farm manager/director at the Rodale Institute for more than 28 years, has served as chair of the USDAšs National Organic Standards Board, and is a founding board member of Pennsylvania Certified Organic. He has also been working on perfecting an organic no-till system that reduces and even eliminates both tillage and the herbicides on which most no-till systems are dependent. What tool couldnšt you live without? Cover crops. They are the biological tools that are the keys to success of our farm. ----- No till has worked for me for the last 2 years, although I'm in a quandary about what to do with the potatoes. I hate digging up the soil and ruining all of the earthworm's labors (not to mention the mycorrhiza). Maybe it's not so bad, if it only happens every 5 years or so. I still have some pepper plants, but they have looked better. Rain in the garden today (50F/39F). -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyE5wjc4XOw http://www.salem-news.com/articles/j...acks_1-5-09.ph p |
