Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

Well, you already found Ruth Stout which is no-till, and lasagna gardening 
and double digging which are not no-till. But this is not "the" no-till list. 
We do include it because it's demonstrated to be highly effective as 
everything but selling tractors.

Those links Mitch just sent make a good start. Any questions, toss 'em out. 
We're here. Personally I don't claim to know everything, but if I can't find 
an answer I'll find someone who can, somewhere.
