No, I didn't mean to say that.  But your garden is your garden.  Double-dig 
if you like.
 
I'd wager that if you knew the true origins of cultivation, you'd be a bit 
embarrassed that you ever subscribed to such an idea...

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.

I've only used the flowers for herbal oils and vinegars but here's what else
I found.... http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/b/borage66.html
http://www.holistic-herbalist.com/borago-officinalis.html Culinary Uses Of
Borago officinalis:

   1. Leaves of borage are *cooked with* cabbage and cauliflower.
   2. Chopped leaves of borage are *added to soups* after they are away from
   the oven. They add a great flavor.
   3. *Cake decorations* are done with candied flowers of borage by
   grandmothers.
   4. *Salads* and soups are garnished with young leaves and flowers of
   borage. Summer cocktails and other drinks are also garnished traditionally
   with leaves and flowers.
   5. Flowers of borage are dried to add *color to potpourri*.
   6. Boiling, frying and simmering would result in loss of borage fragrance
   quickly.
   7. In Germany, *sauces* prepared from herbs are very popular in summer.
   And we have many such sauces that are freshly prepared in summer and most 
of
   them contain herbs and
vegetables<http://www.holistic-herbalist.com/borago-officinalis.html#>.

   8. *Green sauce* is made in Frankfurt and its ancient formula contains
   seven herbs - parsley, chervil, chives, cress, sorrel, burnet and borage.
   Lemon balm is a popular extra herb.
   9. Similar sauces and *pickles* are prepared in other parts of world with
   Borago officinalis and other herbs.

ends. It is not like a novel that starts at a certain point and ends at a
certain point. It is an ongoing phenomenon. Lovers end, love continues– it
is a continuum. It is a verb, not a noun." Osho
