No Till Farming

[plantmarkParticipant]

Charles, I thought you would be interested to know that a farmer close to where I live is hosting the countrys first No-Till Show in June to promote the method to farmers. They are hoping to attract 500 farmers from across Europe.

They are one of very few farms in the country using this method and having practised No-Till for the last 5 years my local farmer reports an increase in the worm population year by year, increased resistance to drought, reduced bills for spray and fertiliser and a 50% drop in fuel cost as they dont have to use the tractors so much

They are on Twitter at Groundswell if you are interested to follow them.

Its on my Events page.
They want some no dig gardening to complement the no till farming.
Its really good news from their farming experience with no till!
I think no dig gardeners would find the day interesting, cost is around £40.
