Not claiming to be an expert or anything, but farmers have been turning the soil for thousands of years with great sucess. No-till tends to leave a lot of trash on top of the soil, which is good as far as erosion control goes, but if you look at the amount of chemicals now used to supress things, plus it seems a new wilt, mold, or rust shows up almost every year since no-till took over, I'd think twice about the system. Every experienced gardener knows that he has to clean up the old, dead debris in the fall, or the 'meaters, mellons, and taters will suffer greatly due to the growth of viruses and bugs. I don't know of any "organic" farmers that don't plow and rotate crops. This is just my thoughts, no facts involved. Mike
