Roosevelt once said, “The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.” President Roosevelt said this quote during one of America's greatest hardships, the Dust Bowl. Contrary to what we’ve been told, rototilling does not improve the soil, it destroys it. As for the Dust Bowl, it was a man-made ecological disaster.
Scientist now realize that deep tilling is to blame for the destruction of topsoil that once supported America's bread basket in the Midwest.
