A Farmer Does Not Grow Something In

Since I Turned The Fields Back To Their Natural State, I Can't Say I've Had Any Really Difficult Problems With Insects Or Disease.

Straw Mulch, A Ground Cover Of White Clover Interplanted With The Crops, And Temporary Flooding All Provide Effective Weed Control In My Fields.

Natural Farming Is Just Farming, Nothing More. You Don't Have To Be A Spiritually Oriented Person To Practice My Methods.

One Of The Most Important Discoveries I Made In Those Early Years Was That To Succeed At Natural Farming, You Have To Get Rid Of Your Expectations. Such "products" Of The Mind Are Often Incorrect Or Unrealistic . . . And Can Lead You To Think You've Made A Mistake If They're Not Met.

People Should Relate To Nature As Birds Do. Birds Don't Run Around Carefully Preparing Fields, Planting Seeds, And Harvesting Food. They Don't Create Anything . . . They Just Receive What Is There For Them With A Humble And Grateful Heart.
