Description
Natural Farming equips the farmer to get the best from the land using environmentally sustainable methods that save time, expense, and worry - and to supply the rising global demand for pure food. This essential handbook contains detailed information on: understanding a soil analysis; establishment and management of pasture; treatment of compacted soil and erosion; alternatives to artificial fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides; the significance of weeds; strategies for drought; diagnosis of diseases and deficiencies in stock; remedies for common diseases, including Johne's disease and immune-system disorders; and rearing orphan animals.
