59. Good points.

I am partial to low-till or no-till farming that features companion and soil enriching plants. The soil enriching plants can be planted in late summer and mowed down in the spring.

I am no vegan, but I no longer use animal based or fish fertilizer, there are plant alternatives that are actually good for the earth or oceans as much as they are good for farming.

Excellent point on manure and bone meal. For a large farm or even a small one, use of those soil amendments require high density animal farms, feedlots or slaughterhouses.
