For centuries, farmers have assumed\u00a0 that the plow is essential for growing crops. However, non cultivation is fundamental to natural farming. The earth\u00a0 cultivates itself naturally by means of the penetration of\u00a0 plant roots and the activity of microorganisms, small\u00a0 animals, and earthworms.<\/p>\n<p>When the soil is cultivated the natural environment is\u00a0 altered beyond recognition. The repercussions of such acts\u00a0 have caused the farmer nightmares for countless\u00a0 generations. For example, when a natural area is brought\u00a0 under the plow very strong weeds such as crabgrass and\u00a0 docks sometimes come to dominate the vegetation. When\u00a0 these weeds take hold, the farmer is faced with a nearly\u00a0 impossible task of weeding each year. Very often, the land\u00a0 is abandoned.<\/p>\n<p>In coping with problems such as these, the only\u00a0 sensible approach is to discontinue the unnatural practices\u00a0 which have brought about the situation in the first place.\u00a0 The farmer also has a responsibility to repair the damage he\u00a0 has caused. Cultivation of the soil should be discontinued.\u00a0 If gentle measures such as spreading straw and sowing\u00a0 clover are practiced, instead of using man-made chemicals\u00a0 and machinery to wage a war of annihilation, then the\u00a0 environment will move back toward its natural balance and\u00a0 even troublesome weeds can be brought under control.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Source:<span style=\"color: #008000;\">The One-Straw Revolution (Masanobu Fukuoka, October 1975)<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dogal-tarim.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/29425903_1805461629760312_3604035662279344128_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1759\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dogal-tarim.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/29425903_1805461629760312_3604035662279344128_n.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dogal-tarim.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/29425903_1805461629760312_3604035662279344128_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dogal-tarim.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/29425903_1805461629760312_3604035662279344128_n-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThat is, no plowing or\u00a0 turning of the soil.
