mistakes than growing vegetables intensively year-in and year-out. Psychologically, we found that everything became
so much easier when we set aside a whole
growing season just for building the soil
and reducing weed pressure.
More articles on the Nordells whole-farm
approach to weed management are available in
their booklet, Weed the Soil, Not the Crop, price
$10 plus $3 S&H. An accompanying DVD is also
available, cost $15 plus $3 S&H. To order, send
check or money order to Anne or Eric Nordell,
