The Simple Hearth Of The Small Farm

By Raising Tall Trees For Windbreaks, Citrus Underneath, And A Green Manure Cover Down On The Surface, I Have Found A Way To Take It Easy And Let The Orchard Manage Itself!

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

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.

If You Do Not Try To Make Food Delicious, You Will Find That Nature Has Made It So.

Weeds Play An Important Part In Building Soil Fertility And In Balancing The Biological Community . . .
