Fukuoka spent over 3 years refining his supposed "do-nothing" method: commonsense, lasting methods that all however remove making use of pesticides, plant food, husbandry, and perhaps most considerably, wasteful effort.
Right here are the methods we made use of which enabled us to considerably enhance our yard yield, while requiring much less time as well as less work.
