  • Good explanation on no-till and how you "jump start" the soil with the first tilling in of organic matter... Leaves, compost, manure, lime. If an IBM guy can do it... anyone can. JK ;)

    Another alternative to manure is rotating with cover crops. Turnips and Lentils both fix nitrogen (add it to the soil) and as a bonus, you can harvest them for some deliciously good eats. Clover is another good nitrogen fixing cover crop though I've never tried to eat any of them. ;)

  • @4micaman thanks again. our next door neighbor farms over 600 acres of organic tobacco ( sorta an oxymoron isn't it??? :), and rotates with lentils between crop years. thanks.

  • Thanks Patricia - you've tweaked my interest and now I'm googling "lasagna gardening" to find out more. Sign up for our, mostly weekly, herb tips on the web site and see what tips are in there. I got a feeling you could be adding lots of good stuff to that list!! Off to find your book.

  • ANTI-OXIDATION IS THE KEY!

    p.s. the photosynthetic bacteria present in EM-1 are "nitrogen fixing"

  • God bless you.. I'm surprized the chemical companies have not knocked you off.

  • You don't need to add nitrogen if you rotate nitrogen fixing crops.

  • no such thing as weeds just unwanted green mulch

  • this guy is smart.

  • @anunnaki2006 contains

  • @88simran wow this was so long ago but thanks :]

  • @theprofits13 by definition a vacuum has no particles. Since this is also described as impossible, i will say that i think compost of organic matter will occur. what combinations of matter and what life is present, decomposition must occur!

  • Please remember that many of these hatefully named weeds are actually highly medicine plants from God purposely created to the persistent because they're highly important against dis-ease such as Dandelion and Plantain etc. Do your studying on these weeds and the reversal of serious problems like Cancer. This is another reason your brainwashed into hating dandelions. The Worshipful Company of Apothecaries wants to profit from your misery then death.

  • Remember your urine produces nitrogen

  • Very nice vidio awesome
