Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[moon@ceva.net]

Hi Ken,
 I'm hooked on equip. Would be a joy to not depend on it. Especialy  
as fuel gets more dear. I often topdress a bed w/ composted horsepoo  
and sawdust, then till it in. seems like more gain then loss. What do  
you produce w/ no-till?
 I also have sandy river botton, I spread manure and leaf mold, use a  
falk spader and bury it w/ all the weeds for garlic, and summer vege  
bed prep. Even in my small garden, a 3pt hitch rorotiller can bury all  
the frost bit basil and mulch and fortify the bed w/ org matter while  
cleaning up for reseeding. Looks great,like choc cake.
 Is this evil in the no-till notebook? . Is the worm count the final jury?
 How else to manage? Too much to fork, too many weeds, weed skeletons  
and 1/2 rotted mulch seems sinking them under helps. Midseason, in Va,  
the weeds are so fierce I can only cultivate w/ a sm cultv tractor to  
keep the comp down. too much to mulch. I have fabric for my  
peps,squash and tomas.
 You can let the DVD answer.
Thanks, Ann zone 7
