The process involves macerating and shredding these plants to produce nutrient-rich soil without the need for traditional fertilizers. Discover how to tiller fava beans for better nitrogen sequestration and see simple methods used to shred and prepare the compost efficiently. His guide also covers effective planting cycles and provides insights into maintaining a fertile garden for healthier plant growth.

Thank you Dennis and Ben!
What a beautiful green manure making.
Last Spring I planted favabeans first in my life,
I enjoyed the seeing of how fava growing.
Now you gave me new challenge.
Dear Dennis: just finished my 3rd reading of Sacred Agriculture and the messages have began to jump from the text! Thanx.
