Soil Analysisby PAllenSmith16,628 views
@kittycatcarley I wouldn't characterize tilling as bad in all situations, as it is useful on large-scale agricultural operations and when initially trying to improve poor soils (e.g. working in compost). But if your goal is sustainable small scale food production with as few inputs as possible (fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides etc.), tilling should be avoided. There are some great youtube videos on No Dig Gardening and Permaculture, both of which stress minimizing soil disruption.

@ctb619 ahh... interesting. is moderate tilling good or is all tilling bad?

@kittycatcarley
One of the most insidious effects of excess tillage is the loss of carbon bound in the soil in the form of humus. Oxygen is necessary to soil life, of course, which is a major reason we work to improve aeration in soil through creation of looser, more open “pore structure.” Excessive exposure of the soil to oxygen, however, as occurs in heavy tillage, leads to oxidation of the carbon (humus) content and its loss to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.(from: themodernhomestead.us)

Thank you so much for your videos. We had our first garden this year and grew it organic. We would have had no idea what to do without you. I have been asking the old guy across the street for years what to do and have never got one straight answer from him. Well our plants are beautiful. Can not wait for the fall garden.

Tilling destroys topsoil.

Sharing is caring! Getting more inspired to garden at this time is a good idea!

Actually you can grow topsoil a lot faster than that. Check out Keyline and P.A. Yeomans.
