[QUOTE="BSH, post: 847064, member: 371"] It was interesting to me that on the second day that I went on there was rally no discussion about worms? There was as per some other threads here talk that organic farmers as well as conventional were getting it all wrong but when I asked how we should grow or crops i didnt really get a straight answer. I said that from what she described we should have a permanent understory of low perrenial cover, with no round up and no tillage and then with good biology/ lots of the RIGHT compost tea we could grow continous wheat!!! Except of course there was no way of establishing the wheat in this scenario. If no chems then there would have to be tillage. In my very limited experience no tillage and residue on the surface does more to increase worm numbers than being organic and doing tillage and as clive said if worms are up the top of the food chain in the soil food web then there must be increased biology. Also the worms themselves are creating the biology with there gardens and slime covered walls to there tunnels so my impression is worms are the most important organism to manage? [/QUOTE]
