Yes, plowing has been around forever, but the idea
of pulverizing the soils so roots can eat them.....Tull. And the idea that
American gardeners should do the same: Jeff,
NO One that I know would ever consider 'pulverising' a form of
cultivation.
We are talking about two different situations. You about the
gardener and small areas and I and others of the thousands of acres that could
benefit from ACT on a large scale and have the greatest impact in
saving world soils.
Unfortunately large scale cropping involves large machines
these day.100 hp -400 hp tractors, combines weighing 12-20 tons,
grain trailers in excess of 30 tons,though better tyres spread the load
there is still a problem of compaction, (even the foliar application of ACT will
have to be done following the same 'tram' line as the fist application
unless on the relative small acreage of centre point irrigation, or applied by
air which I presume would be too expensive. ) that can better be resolved by min. till plus ACT, than by the sole
application of ACT. I would be pleased to be proven wrong on this.
<Perhaps this no tilling thing has been Stouted
out...:)>
I sincerly hope not.
