Re: Organic Gardening

You may be interested in seeing what I have to say about tillage in my new book, WEEDLESS GARDENING (Workman Publishing). In this book I drew not only on my personal gardening experiences and that of others (including Ruth Stout), but also my plant and soil research experience with the USDA and Cornell University.

P.S. If you are reading this and saying to yourself, "Gee, I rototill....and
I tell my readers to rototill" you really need to check the science on the
practice. It isn't pretty in favor of tilling. Just the worms and
microarthopods you kill, forget the fungi you can't see....."

Jeff, can you provide some references to the "science" on this topic?

I believe it was in the old OG that Ruth Stout so often promoted no-tillage
gardening.
