Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Yeah, as you said:

 

 "I should mention again that far as I'm concerned this isn't about hobby
gardening but best production for survival and quality of life for families
and communities."

 

Which means using all available tools, and getting as many people to try it as possible.  If computers make it less daunting, then that's a good thing.  I realize that your focus is commercial market gardening, but every little bit of home production helps.

Excellent effort. Of all those it looks to me like
http://www.wys-systems.demon.co.uk/plotcrop/ might be most useful. It could
prompt the user to think about all aspects of production. Someone try it
and let us know if it accommodates intensive successions. I do suspect the
typical user just won't have the background to make good choices where
choices are called for. We should do much better though.

I should mention again that far as I'm concerned this isn't about hobby
gardening but best production for survival and quality of life for families
and communities.
