> I've been trying to research the no-till (zero-till...) method and haven't
had much luck, lots of info on how good it is and the results but not the
actual method
Jacqueline,
This is what I know about no-till...
People use chisel plows - which chisel a little row for the seeds in the
fields, and leave the rest undisturbed.
People who us the no-till method usually use a mess of herbicides - that
is their method of weed control
No-till still ends up with deader soil than organic, or biodynamic,
since its purpose is to lessen erosion and grow one type of plant. Killing
all else.
It still does not promote biodiversity or healthy soil.
I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you use something other than herbicides
for weed control.
