Question from P.O.: You consider hand pulling a weed to be a harmful pesticide... that's hard to understand... It seems though that the basic premise is we should just throw the seeds out there and hope they grow. If I didn't weed my garden, or use a mulch to prevent weeds, I can tell your from 40 years experience, I wouldn't be able to harvest much...
Answer from Coastalfields:
Though it may, at first, seem shocking that weeds improve the garden's yields, we can reccomend test and experiment procedures for you to undertake your own trials...or else would reccomend you come and visit our farm. We earn more profit, and yield more food than our competitors because we have domesticated all creatures on our fields: we do not simply "throw seeds out there and hope they grow," but rather care for sick plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms, and ensure that the needs of all creatures for food and shelter are met. The more biodiversity in your field, the greater your yield!
If you have trouble harvesting much through your gardening methods, we would be glad to provide you instruction (for free) on how to increase your yields by using no herbicide, no pesticide and no fertilizers. Whether you've been gardening for 4 years, 40 years or 400 years, it is important to continually improve your methods. With all respect due, 40 years of experience is not as good as 40 years of experiments. Truth is like gold: the more it is tested, the brighter it appears (the impurities having been eliminated). To do the same thing every year isnever good: there is always room to improve.
We have prospered because we are always undertaking tests and trials to improve our methods further: we examine the soil composition and pH, the biodiversity and biodensity, the yields per acre, the costs per acre andother data, and would advocate any other gardener or farmer to do the same if they want to prosper as we have. There are easier and better ways to farm...to conduct a small trial (even on 1 or 10 feet of land) would be worth your while.
