Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Dieter Brand <diebrand@yahoo.com>]

Rhoda,

 

The answer will depend on what you mean by no-till:

 

A) mulched gardening à la Ruth Stout,

B) no-till farming with herbicide-killed cover crops, or

C) organic no-till farming with mechanically killed cover

crops.

 

A) and B) will work everywhere.  C) will work only if

your climate allows continued coverage by cover crop

and/or cash crop during the entire growing season.

Any interruption in your cropping schedule, like during

a dry season, will allow the weeds to come back, and

you have to start from zero.
