Re: So what is a spader?



<I don't have clue as to what a spader is. >

I have been seeing this question alot, and I feel that
I should let people know about a book that's put out
by the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) called,
"Steel in the Field: A Farmers Guide to Weed
Management Tools".  It was published in 1997 and is
available through SAN.  I work for SAN, but I also
interested in developing my own CSA in the next couple
of years.  I have heard great reviews by those who are
familiar with farm machinery and those who aren't at
conferences around the country.  

It has lots of pictures and lots of information on
topics like "how to comply with erosion-prevention
plans, how to remain profitable and how to manage
residue and moisture loss."

For more information about the book, go to
http://www.sare.org/san/htdocs/pubs/

This book is a must for anyone looking to reduce or
replace pesticide inputs. Index, contact list,
detailed illustrations and tool source list included.
