Hello,
This is great to find a whole forum on no-till gardening. This is something I am seriously considering after seeing the difference between one bed that I dug with the potato fork vs the tilled ground. It took all summer for the worms to recover from the tilling. Why I havn't paid attention to that in the past 20 years is just that, the past. But now I want to make a difference. However, our garden is about 8000' sq ft. I can't imagine hand forking the whole thing. We direct seed leafy things, potatoes, corn, peas and beans and beets/carrots. The rest is mostly transplants; broccoli types, onions, squash, celery, herbs. Any ideas on how to manage on what seems to me to be a large scale ? Granted, it gets planted in stages over about a month..... Thanks for any ideas !!
