Special: Intro to Self Sufficient Gardening: Natural Cycles and Soil - 12:43
SIX RULES of organic philosophy according to John Seymour's 1980 "Self Sufficient Gardener":
1. Work with, not against, nature.
2. Nature is diverse; so too must we practice diversity.
3. Must husband other forms of life in environments as close as possible to those in which that life evolved.
4. Must return to the soil as much as we remove/harvest from it (law of conservation I'd energy at work)
5. Feed the soil, not the plant
6.must observe nature as a whole, never any single part of it.
