Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Ken Hargesheimer <minifarms2@yahoo.com>]

There is really very little information about organic, no-till in
permanent beds on the web or anywhere else.  No money to be made promoting it. 
  
  A chemical salesman tells a farmer why he should use chemicals,  the farmer buys and he gets paid by the sale.  I tell people to use
organic, no-till for gardening and farming and that the farmer does not have to buy anything from anybody.  No profit in this!!!  Therefore, no one promotes except to help people and help the earth.

  Fukaoka Farm, Japan, has been no-till [rice, small grains,
vegetables] for 70 years.  An Indian farmer has been no-till [vegetables] for 5 years.  A Malawi farmer has been no-till [vegetables] on permanent beds for 25 years.  A Honduras farmer has been no-till [vegetables & fruit] on permanent beds on the contour (73° slope] for 11 years.  Ruth Stout [USA] had a no-till garden for 30 years and 7,000 people visited her garden.  ¡It works!
