Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Ken Hargesheimer <minifarms2@yahoo.com>]

John Jeavons, Ecology Action, does not import anything to the garden.  He uses green manure/cover crops to provide organic matter and crop waste.  Of course, he double digs which waste OM.

 

When people are destroying OM, we should use it.

 

People are concerned about a rising population.  From my experience in Africa and reading:   As education levels among a population rises, the birthrate goes down. 

 

There is no doubt in my mind that organic, no-till can feed the world regardless of how high the population goes.
