No till people I follow (just few in USA and one in Ireland) ended up with adding huge amount of compost. Mulching with compost. Almost like starting with a new plot.
For this you need to import compost. Where I live you can buy compost as much as you want but quality varies. So I wonder how this can work at scale. Maybe using different no till techniques I do not know.
- TaylorAlexander 5y agoIt’s true. Sometimes called no-dig by Charles Dowding or “deep compost mulch system” but folks in the USA, that doesn’t scale well. For JM Fortier and Curtis Stone for example though, they do a minimal tillage system with soil amendments but I don’t believe they do heavy application of compost regularly. They do take advantage of a flail mower and a power harrow to compost leftover green matter on site, which reduces waste. And I love RED Gardens in Ireland!
