Book Overview

Growing food in undisturbed soil is nature's model for success and a core concept of sustainable farming. No-till practices and plant diversity preserve soil structure, increase water absorption, reduce erosion, and allow microscopic life to flourish.

Learn how you can use this intensive approach to vegetable farming to increase production while maintaining a human-scale operation, with fields, tools, and methods sized for people rather than tractors and machinery.

In this in-depth manual, Daniel Mays shares his proven strategies for operating a thriving, no-till, small-scale commercial farm, including how to:

- Maximize production and efficiency through soil health and biodiversity
- Maintain a weed-free farm
- Integrate cover crops and livestock
- Increase resilience through interplanting, hedgerows, and beneficial insect habitat
- Build community and a vibrant customer base
- Make a good living from farming.

   Packed with helpful info
I found this book super helpful ''. It is packed with thorough explanations about soil health and no-till practices that will help me build my no-till game and understand how to make smart changes and why I am doing things. The level of information in this book could be a little intimidating if you're new to no-till farming, but the good news is that there are a lot of great introduction-to-no-till books you could read first.

   Nothing new here. But is a nice book nevertheless.
The price of the book is, however, extremely reasonable, so that if you want a book for reference on your bookshelf, you would probably pick this. My only criticism is that I wanted to see more about planting times. And it would have been nice to have an online link to a template to the spreadsheet that talks about it. This would have been cool.

So, personal opinion from a 40+ year home gardener. If you can get past all the climate change is man made '' propaganda of the first couple of chapters, this book has a lot of great information. It is written in easy to understand terms and will be easy for a new or new farmer to market.
