Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Ken Hargesheimer <minifarms2@yahoo.com>]

When I teach a workshop, I post the following at the front of the room:

 

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING,

FROM ANYBODY,

AT ANYTIME,

FOR THE FARM OR GARDEN

[a few rare exceptions].

 

Seed is one exception.

 

Fertilizer comes form green manure/cover crops. Rarely, something has to be added in certain soils. 

 

I began practicing BI in 1982  and took the 3 day biointensive workshop in 1997 and by 2000 I stopped teaching it and teach organic, no-till since.  I have a free dvd I will send to anyone who request it.

 

Rule no. 1   ADD ORGANIC MATTER.  If you want ten rules, repeat no. 1 nine more times.
