Thomas:
Is this your blog? This is excellent though in Norwegian.
No till and chop and drop is what I now practice for maintenance; for cropping I use minimal till with hand tools. I will experiment with seedballs and no till drill planting by hand. It is amazing how my fields and gardens have recovered and now flourish now that no vehicles get near and most crop-predatory wildlife is gone due to fencing and guard dogs. The new and interesting plant communities are fascinating.
I am letting lambs quarters and wild millet go to seed as well as daisies that flower now and feed the bees, goldenrod and ragweed.
The wild bees have returned to my farm. I leave nearly empty jars of leftover honey out for them and I see hundreds swarming over them stocking up for winter.

This no till and chop & drop is a great topic to explore here and I hope others will join in.

Thanks for X-posting the blog link.
