How Millions of Farmers are Advancing Agriculture For Themselves

3. And a lot of very hard work

I notice later in the article it states that the system is very labor intensive.

I find that most organic gardening is very labor intensive especially when you are 1st setting up your garden.

I notice they mention giving each plant room to grow. I find that package labels for seeds are almost useless when it comes to spacing of vegetables. If my soil is poor (a newly developing garden plot) I plant further apart. If my soil is rich (an older garden plot with a lot of organic materials in it) I plant closer. The in row spacing on seeds packets is usually too close and the between row spacing is usually too far apart and allows weeds to invade and take over.
