Vickor and his ideas actually work, we also find that our produce is much better than others in our small community garden, the trick is to limit one's activities in the soil and let nature do the work for us. We find the integrity of the soil is better suited for growing things this way.
We also leave some weed types in situ, like Feverfew which is a excellent detterent to certain pests like the cabbage white that do not like its perfume.
It was a sad ending for Viktor and how the establishment took him away from his lifes work, I think we know why and who.
