Allan - We talked about the handout featuring the planting beds and tractor-spader combination used by Ed Kogelschatz at Shinbone Valley Farm, a biodynamic farm in Georgia.
That handout is now located on my web page, Rhizosphere II. This is an MS-Word .doc, so you just click and download to your computer for viewing as a word processing document with photographs and text. Photo Gallery: Planting Beds & Spading Machine at Shinbone Valley Farm [MS-Word.doc download; 10 pages with 18 photos; an Ed Kogelschatz and George Kuepper handout] http://ncatark.uark.edu/~steved/shinbone-farm.doc George Kuepper will have a new, expanded handout at the Southern SAWG meetings coming up in Chattannooga, January 25-27th. Ed and Ginger Kogelschatz' farm will again be featured at the field day. The participants at last year's field day said it was one of the best they'd attended. The Kogelschatz farm speaks for itself, complemented by the fact that Ed and Ginger are wonderful people. It was fascinating to listen to Ed describe his BD compost, and the tractor + spader + cover crops + modified brush-hog + planting bed system, etc., including the elusive yet certain "quality" of vegetables and herbs they produce.
