Thank for your sharing your comments/experience Charles. It simply makes sense.
I like the whole permaculture/no-dig thing. Let animals like chickens, ducks and other appropriate helpers like worms, microbes, fungi and nature itself do the work as it loves to do it.
I am reading Teaming With Microbes right now. I can only take it in in bite sized chunks as it’s all new to me.
Also, my wallet thanks you too. Any tool not needed is a tool not bought. My wife would also thank you too.. LoL
