Mark,
I have a DVD of two programs produced in Canada about Cuban gardening and farming. As far as I know they are NOT no-till. They will catch up someday. I would love to teach a workshop there. Hablo espaƱol.

Just this past weekend I watched The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil and noted that they're not doing no-till. Cuba has put a lot of study and effort behind their move toward more sustainability and organics, yet, from what I could tell (lots of oxen and clips of oxen-pulled plows), they're still doing tilling.
What gives? Does anyone have any first-hand information on this/Cuba?

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. Ken Hargeheimer
