Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Dieter Brand <diebrand@yahoo.com>]

Ken,

 

Can you give examples of organic no-till farming in arid or

semi-arid zones and explain how it is done?  In particular,

it would be useful to know which methods and what crops

are used to assure continued coverage during the dry season.

Paul,

 

Organic, no-till works but the reason more farmers or mini-farmers or gardeners do not change to it is in their head; not in the garden.  I guess that is harsh but it is true.  I have seen it here and in every country I have taught in.  When I am told about someone who did it and failed and I learn what happened, it is the gardener who failed; not the method.
