Farm Masanobu Fukuoka is on the island of Shikoku and is a 1 hectares of crops and 5 hectares of citrus gardens, where the trees grow veggies. Masanobu Fukuoka is the author of numerous books on natural farming, the most famous of them — "one straw Revolution".

In 1975, when this was written the famous book, the soil on his farm not plowed for more than 25 years, the fertility of its increased, and grain yields approached a record in Japan.





The Concept Of Masanobu Fukuoka 1. The trees weaken and suffer from pests in the extent to which they deviate from their natural forms.

The five principles of natural farming by Masanobu Fukuoka

3. Weeding through tillage or herbicides are not needed.

Practical methods of Masanobu Fukuoka 1. Growing near fruit trees (citrus) acacia Morishima (6-7 trees on 0.1 hectares), which is constantly growing, forming young buds attract aphids and, as a consequence, ladybirds who then move on to citrus trees. Thus, the acacia Morishima helps to fight pests also protects from the wind, attracts pollinators and fixes nitrogen.

2. Growing a solid cover of white clover and alfalfa, which (to prevent contamination) podstavitsya in August, following mowing for soil improvement.

3. Planting under trees a variety of vegetables, such as daikon (Japanese radish), some of which are not clean, so they samovosproizvoditsja. These vegetables also contribute to the soil organic matter, their roots deep into the soil, creating channels for water and air.
