Apart froni fer- tilizers and chemical nourish- ment, he has found that a healthy land miust be able to 'breathe deeper". He has long discontinued the use of the mould board in ploughing. This system, where the furrow is turned flat bury- .ng ail onganic matter under an almost air-tight lip, contributes greatly to soil erosion, Garnet contends. Some years ago heý began using "chiseis"-ong,1 deep cutting tools. With these, the sil was aerated te a great- en depth. The green noot-web of the top soul is spilled, nuxed and agitated - but flot buried, and choked. It permits deeper breathing, Lfld gives maximum protection against erosion.
