Glyphosate is a major disturbance to soil organisms. No till with gmos and herbicides is not the solution. We need to expand the research into and promotion of organic no-till.

That's it then! I have put a layer of organic matter on my raised beds to compost overwinter. I was going to dig it in before the start of the next growing season. Not now. It will stay on the top and I will let the worms do it for me.

Thank You so much.

If we do not "disturb the soil" and use seeding systems such as high residue mulch till or one pass direct seed. You can watch this informational video on soil health and soil erosion. This is "sustainable" farming, using stewardship to protect the natural resources. There is an error if I try to add a direct link so you should search for Soil Stories - The Whole Story on Google, it is a 29 minute video about soil, soil health, and direct seed veggi production.

If we can't disturb the soil, how will we eat?

"do not disturb" - great branding message!
