No-till Farming

[Hippo]

I've not seen but I've read about it. The idea is quite interesting and has been successfully applied in some places. Every time you turn your soil during tilling, you expose all your beneficial organisms to sunlight and the die. As this continues, you lose soil organic matter, structure and water holding capacity. And so to continue to grow crops on the land, you’ll have to increase the amount of fertilizer/manure. We need to practice sustainable agriculture.
