The choice to be no-till is one grounded in love for our soil and all the creepy crawlies that call it home. We don’t want to disrupt the soil too much or change what those microenvironments look like. Those microorganisms, worms and other bugs dwelling in the soil are a part of our environment and it’s important for us to nurture them. In turn, they’ll continue to aerate the soil and provide nutrients to the plants. Also, as a two-person team, we’re trying to minimize our time that we spend weeding. Each time that you till, you kick up new seeds that have been laying dormant in the soil and bring them closer to the sun so that they can germinate.
