(1) Healthy soil contains billions of microorganisms and sustains plant life. Composting and using organic matter replenishes soil nutrients and maintains a healthy ecosystem.
(2) Planting in close hexagonal spacings with overlapping leaves creates a microclimate that reduces evaporation, retards weeds, retains carbon dioxide, and protects microorganisms.
(3) Companion planting of mutually beneficial plants can repel pests, attract beneficial insects, fix nitrogen, and improve nutrient availability through symbiotic relationships in the soil.

All you need to learn and start composting with aid of earth worms on your own.
Composting of waste to produce bio fertilizer by decomposition or by the use of earthworms called vermiculture.
What is Vermicomposting?
Vermicomposting is a simple biotechnological process of composting, in which certain species of earthworms are used to enhance the process of waste conversion and produce a better end product. Vermicomposting differs from composting in several ways (Gandhi et al. 1997). It is a mesophilic process, utilizing microorganisms and earthworms that are active at 10–32°C (not ambient temperature but temperature within the pile of moist organic material). The process is faster than composting; because the material passes through the earthworm gut, a significant but not yet fully understood transformation takes place, whereby the resulting earthworm castings (worm manure) are
rich in microbial activity and plant growth regulators, and fortified with pest repellence attributes as well! In short, earthworms, through a type of biological alchemy, are capable of transforming garbage into ‘gold’

44. Double Dug down to at least 24 inches. Allows close spacing of plants and very deep roots. Allows deeper penetration of air, water, and nutrients. Plant roots can grow more freely
117. Companion planting. For reasons that are still not well understood but have been thoroughly validated, many plants complement one another and grow more abundantly together - say bush beans and strawberries. In other cases, companion plants may serve to repel garden pests of various kinds, or may attract beneficial insects. For instance, borage helps to control tomato worms and also attracts pollinators like bees.
127. Calorie Farming Calorie farming. Here the emphasis is on growing the most efficient calorie-producers for human consumption. For instance, about 30% of all the crops that are grown on a small subsistence farm are high-calorie root crops, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips and others.
139. "Growing soil" is the key to long term farm sustainability. Some 50-60% of all the crops grown on a modern biointensive farm are dual-purpose crops that provide both calories for humans and an abundance of material for building compost piles. These crops include many grains, corn, fava beans and sunflowers, among others.
First generation offspring of two distinct parents of the same species. May be sterile or fail to breed. "hybrid vigour" which can improve yields. Enabled the commercial seed market. Farmers buys new hybrid seed each season. Replace traditional farm-saved seed
Known as "high response" seed. Fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides and water . Hybrids bred for yield at expense of hardiness. Reliance forces chemical inputs. Trapped farmers in debt cycle...suicide! Organic methods are substituted. Creates lifeless dusty soils prone to erosion.
85% Agrichemical sales concentrated; Syngenta, Bayer, Monsanto, BASF, Dow y Dupont . Three corporations control 90% global grain trade; Cargill, Archer Daniels, Bunge. Dupont and Monsanto dominate gloibal seed markets. ¼ seed sale genetically engineered.
Traditional varieties selected for millenia. Adapted with people . Selected under organic conditions and so grow well without chemical inputs. More hardy, better flavor & more flexible. Hybrid selected for size, shape, production. OP dynamic, adapt to local ecosystems. Hybrids static.
