Good grief, again. Complete heresy. Tell us about deep cultivation and 
why ...<fill in the blank>.

Where do you detractors get these crazy notions? GG Liddy is off the air 
but I realize the dittoheads breed their lame mindset like flies 
hoarding a cowpie like it was their last meal.

Seriously, didn't you mean to say that _tillage_ on agriculture fields 
larger than gardens has fallen out of favor because of soil erosion
and exposing organic matter to be oxidized and lost releasing Co2 into 
the atmosphere. But to disallow double dug gardening for the above 
reasons is extremely short sighted and representative of poor planning,
depriving a gardener of one of the best time tested soil quality 
improvement methods ever devised. Read John Jeavons and Alan Chadwick on 
the subject, also Eliot Coleman and hundreds more experienced organic 
gardeners who have written on the subject.
