Then, exactly like you were removing weed, just slide the blade under the roots and lift the plant right out of the ground.

The oats are preventing erosion and nutrient leaching, building biomass above and below grown, feeding soil microbes...

The lack of available nutrients became even more obvious when I rotated chickens through it in a tractor.

My russets suffered from “hollow heart” while my yukons were tremendously knobby and misshapen.

If I were a new gardener and could have this simple framework in my head from the start, it would have provided me with great clarity.
