Dave & Trish - I "think" I understand the no-till gardening method to a certain extent. But I still wasn't sure how YOU managed to turn the terrible soil on your large property into good soil?

Cover crops? Lasagna beds? Hugelkultur beds? Worm castings/compost spread around? Leaf and pine tree mulch? Farm animal manure? I don't quite get how you've managed to drastically improve your farmland soil in just a few short years. Is it a combo of all these things and more? (Forgive me for being so dense.)

Your property soil (prior to what you've done) sounds like my yard soil now. I feel like I live in a sandy wasteland. I'm trying to grasp the no-till concept and how exactly to amend my soil. I'd appreciate any clarification about your podcast. I did enjoy it and use the concept of lasagna beds. But what to do about the rest of my yard ... I'm at a loss.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
