Heel mooi om het verhaal te horen van de voormalige UVA-student. Het verbaast me niets dat men daar denkt dat alles maakbaar is, dat je alles naar je hand kunt zetten. Door grenzen te respecteren werk je juist mee met de natuur ipv ertegen. Op lange termijn bereik je daar veel meer mee!

Dear person interested in farming, on the internet I saw that folks are looking for ideas on improving farming. I am retired organic farmer from the Netherlands and developped and practised in the 90th an other way of working the fields, which turned out to have lots of benefits. After retiring I hoped to see others to come up with the same, but it didn´t happen and therefor I now try to spread it and intend to write all over the world, maybe it gets picked up somewhere. The method is starting in the middle of the field and working in a spiral outwards, in a continious movement, no more 180 degree turning at the headlands. One of the benefits is that we can use more equipement to do all the work in 1 time, with a field train, which could never make 180degree turns. Plowing, fertilzing, seed bed making, seeding and finishing seedbed, it took 4 seconds and all was done I constructed my machine in 10 years and found by accident 2 interesting things. 1 is a broad seeding method and yet all seeds on the exact desired depth and 2 a finisching method that reduces water evaporation after seeding, I will describe later. Disadvantage is that no crop is growing in the corners, depending on the form of the field the surface of those corners can go from 20% to 1% of the total acreage. But benefits outweighed this disadvantage, because my yields went up. Sorry my bad english, its not my mother language. If you have questions or comments, I ll be happy to explain more, I could write lots more, it had effects on soil fertility, weeds, fuel consumption, landscape and things. I hope it goes to Ukraine, it fits their soil type and climate and after a war there could be a bounce in creativity and construction. Greetings from a hill top in France. Koert Tijdens 1 Broad seeding method only works on heavy soil, not on sandy soil. Works with a rototiller set to the depth of desired seed depth. Soil was plowed and packed and then the rototiller with the right blades, It throws chunks of soil through the air and soil lands about a meter behind. Trick is to let seed fall right behind the rototiller and nearly all will fall at the floor. Only very few collisions with the chunks of soil flying through the air. To lauch the seed on a precise trajectory, I used a ribbed hollow plate. 2 Finishing method that reduces evaporation. Last tool from the field train was a steel rebar mesh for concrete, dragged with a cable to finish the work. It gave me unexpected good results, it forms a thin compacted top layer covered with a thin layer loose soil. Crops emerged faster and more even than I was used to. Soil stayed longer moist below these top layers. I think that wind had no more entrance in the soil and that reduced evaporation warmed the soil up faster. I did no mesurements, just observations. Another welcome effect was that my fields became flat as flat can be after a few years, no more bumps and holes, that makes all work easier. The steel rebar mesh was modified, all the crossing welded stronger and the front bend like a ski.

Ooh super leuk dit!!
