Five principles of raised bed agriculture are explained on the Rodale
Institute's New Farm website at
http://www.newfarm.org/features/1002/roland_bunch/index.shtml

1. Maximize organic matter production
2. Keep the soil covered
3. Use zero tillage
4. Maintain biological diversity
5. Feed plants through the mulch.

Roland Bunch knows more about no-till than anyone, having seen it in dozens
of countries."
