[Terrapreta] Fukuoka - No Till Farming

[MFH]

Through Michael's message I was led into the
http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/208 site end then into: 

 

"[1]  Fukuoka, M. One Straw Revolution:  The Natural Way of Farming. Emmaus,
Pennsylvania, Rodale Press,  1978.

-------- the natural Way of Farming:  The Theory and Practice of Green
Philosophy. Tokyo and New York:  Japan Publications. 1985.

available by download from:  www.soilandhealth.org
<http://www.soilandhealth.org/> . "

I remember reading Fukuoka many years ago and perhaps that unconsciously
moulded some of my agricultural philosophies. Reading it again reinforces so
much that I'd recommend it to everyone on the list.

Please excuse my ignorance of farming practices but is there a way to
combine bio-char and no-till? I am asking because Brazil has a huge amount
of land already under no-till regimes and that is not likely to change.

===================================================

 No till gardening is being encouraged in Oz.

 We even have TV adds about it !
