I talked with a no till farmer at a party the other day. He told me that the yields start out lighter but improve in time. He said it can take 7 years to get solid yields.

I don't know one way or the other but he seemed to know what he was talking about and he was successful with no till on more than 50 acres. He said his food tastes better now than it did when he was tilling. He was excited to be talking to someone who actually cared (his wife said as much lol)

Anyway... just passing that on in case it is helpful.

As for me. I just got done with a handful of ridiculously long work weeks. This year's garden has turned out to be a zero maintenance garden. My tomatoes look ridiculous (not good ridiculous). I never grew untrellised tomatoes before. Pretty silly. Surprisingly, no disease... When I finally got home early enough to see my plants I was stunned to see that they weren't all dead.
