Nice video. I have plans for doing this very thing, only, I plan on using horse power for my future plans. I also have a compost plan.

I have five different vegetable gardens and I farm this way.

I constantly ammend my soil with manure compost leaves and grass clippings.

Chemical fertilizers are a no no.

My soil is rich and full of earthworms

Any agriculture which uses fossil fuels is not sustainable - this is still progress though

Great video thank you for posting. Serious sustainable ag want-to-be's need to know soil management. A food crisis will hit the globe in our life times. Permaculture is the fix. Prepare a place for your family to thrive. Biospharms has the info you need to prepare. Look off shore if you can. HR2751 passed and will destroy free and fair food in the future. Prepare now!

Breaking up the soil with a heavy plow is very poor soil management and releases stored carbon.

Travelling in Maine on an exchange visit. Wonder if there are CSAs in the Southern Maine and New Hampshire areas. Would love to know CSA first hand.
