[compost_tea] Tilling



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.
