Talk at the South Downs Food & Nature Fest
In my talk I ask why methods of soil cultivation involving disturbance to soil life, have become so universally applied. Until very recently, there has been little consideration of the damages caused. I explain my no dig methods, which are for gardening not farming. I then look at the deeper implications of this approach, and how it leads to questioning many other aspects and supposed tenets of gardening, and of life! More information and tickets are available through the link. The time of my talk is midday.
