>>2270639The high intensity autism this thread (and the last) has brought forward is legitimately valuable if you create some level of practical plan from the shitstorm of WELL ACHTUALLY.
I've had success in beds that are surrounded with deep woodchip mulch that are routinely sheet mulched with organic matter while the beds themselves are planted with a 2:1 ratio cover crops and market vegetable crops that are selected dependent on the season.
I don't measure out anything outside of that 2:1 ratio; I broadcast sow into shaved crop residue that is culled just enough to create a great micro climate for germination. For example, if you weed-whack everything that is growing in the bed you will create a green sheet mulch that is impossible to penetrate and may even go anaerobic depending on density. I let chickens cycle through really dense beds with chicken tunnels that connect to their coop if needed.
I use shredded leaves for a light much during a new sowing just to provide a little more protection to the germination stage and the seed itself. I also have ass loads of piled up leaves slowly composting into leaf mold that I like to apply when fully broken down.
I still have a lot of tinkering before trying to sell this cultivation model to other homeowners who I would grow food for but I think it is a system ever closing in on a more accessible form of Fukuoka's philosophies regarding farming.
I hate nothing more than lawns, "organic" farmers who use the exact same systems and resources as industrial agriculture, and theorists like the autists in this thread who offer no practical steps to achieving this utopia of soil life and food production.
