Hey easy there champ. I am a no tiller. It is hands down my favourite method just havnt got around to setting it up yet as it takes a little time and effort in the beginning.

I do totally agree though. I see people making it so much more complicated than it needs to be. I do mine with good homemade compost, horsepoo, cow poo, chook poo, worm poo and sugarcane mulch. Kelp would also be great but i normally just water with a little gogo juice and seasol
Nothing wrong with no till as a growing method it’s some of the no till nazis and there “no bottle” propaganda I don’t agree with.

Hands down my favourite fertiliser/ammendment is Kelp,if your not using it in some way shape or form your really missing out it’s packed full of minerals and natural bio stimulants and is really quite good value

Adding Zeolite to soil is a great way to up your CEC and is a cheap way to do it. All these fancy new products no till and organic gurus like to push are not much more than snake oil and expensive snake oil at that the main thing is whatever you add be the best quality you can source

The whole concept of organic production is a very broad one,theres alot of loopholes when it comes to certification that allow the use of non organic inputs in certain situations add to that the high amounts of heavy metals,G.M.O food products being fed to animals then their waste products being used as organic ammendments and high levels of anti biotic residues it starts making organics seem dirtier than using mineral salts.

Did u know horse poo and chicken poo combat each other and it makes your soil stop producing microbes and bacteria for few weeks
