Today I am reading about No Till Farming from the Farmer's Handbook. Many of Permaculture's basic techniques are based on Masonabu Fukuoka's ideas developed as a microbiologist who inherited farming land in Japan. So why No-Till? M. Fukuoko says:

So here are more reasons NOT to use that expensive rototiller:

Im looking at this method because I just received via Amazon.com a 5 lb can of organic black soybeans that were quite expensive. My plan is to plant some of the soybeans and save myself in the future the cost of paying $5.00 a pound for soybeans.

Black soybeans can be used for green manure, and to make soymilk &, tofu, and otherwise they can be used the same as any other dried bean.
