Jeff Moyer -- Championing organic no-till

Preserving the health in the soil while eliminating weeds.
Jeff Moyer has been farm manager/director at the Rodale Institute for
more than 28 years, has served as chair of the USDA¹s National Organic
Standards Board, and is a founding board member of Pennsylvania
Certified Organic. He has also been working on perfecting an organic
no-till system that reduces and even eliminates both tillage and the
herbicides on which most no-till systems are dependent.

What tool couldn¹t you live without?
Cover crops. They are the biological tools that are the keys to success
of our farm.
-----

No till has worked for me for the last 2 years, although I'm in a
quandary about what to do with the potatoes. I hate digging up the soil
and ruining all of the earthworm's labors (not to mention the
mycorrhiza). Maybe it's not so bad, if it only happens every 5 years or
so.

I still have some pepper plants, but they have looked better.

Rain in the garden today (50F/39F).
