Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["rfreez14@netzero.com" <rfreez14@netzero.com>]

Hey Gloria,

I use the "lasagna method" of gardening, and a farmer with whom I am working says that this is bad because "the earth has minerals that the plants need" and says that lasagna gardeners are the equivalent of hydroponics growers.

Therefore, according to this old timey farmer, it's necessary plough, till or at least double dig.  What say you Gloria, and other friends on this list?
