- | | + | |
- | Carrots, burdock (kliswortel), | + | |
- | | + | |
- | Legumes (peulvruchten) are best sown in spring. In growing peas, red azuki beans, soybeans and kidney beans, early germination is essential. They will have difficulty germinating without enough rain, and keep an eye out for birds and insects. | + | |
- | | + | |
- | Tomatoes and Eggplants are not strong enough to compete with the weeds when they are young and so should be grown in a starter bed and later transplanted. Let the tomatoes run along the ground. | + | |

- | As with the vegetables, it is important to choose the right time to sow the clover seed. (Late summer or fall sowing is the best, the roots develop during the cold months, giving the clover a jump on the annual spring grasses. or you can also sow early in spring. Once the clover takes hold, you do not need to sow it again or 5 or 6 years. | ||

- | Leave some vegetables unharvested, | + | |
- | * | + | Make the work easier instead of harder; how about not doing this. how about not doing that is his way of thinking. |
- | If various kinds of herbs and vegetables are mixed together and grown among the natural vegetation, damage by insects and diseases will be minimal and there will be no need to use sprays or to pick bugs by hand. | + | |

- | The One - Straw Revolution | + | |
- | Groundcover - Fertilizer | + | |
- | | + | |
- | For fertilizer Mr. Fukuoka grows a leguminous ground cover of white clover, and returns all the trash straw and chaff to the field, and adds a little poultry (chickens or ducks) manure to help decompose the straw, and helps to control the weeds. | + | |
- | | + | |
- | There is no need in working hard to make compost. If straw is left lying on thesurface of the field in the spring or fall and is covered with a thin layer of chicken manure or duck droppings, in six months straw and clover are a simple way to control weeds | + | |
- | | + | |
- | By spreading straw, growing clover, and returning | + | |
- | | + | |
- | Make a cover of white clover | + | |
- | | + | |
- | Weeds should be controlled, not eliminated interplant white clover with the crops. | + | |
- | | + | |
- | Ground cover crops such as clover, vetch and alfalfa conditions | + | |
- | * | + | ---- |
- | It is best to toss the straw around every which way, just as though the stalks had fallen naturally | + | |
- | * | ||
- | Seed balls: germination is best on the surface of the ground, where there is exposure to oxygen. And where these pellets are covered with straw, the seeds germinate well and will not rot even in years of heavy rainfall. | ||
- | Example to fertilize the ground: For instance the roots of an acacia tree improves the soil deep down, clover as a manure for the surface layer and daikon for the middle layer.In the end you will have a dark and soft ground. | ||
- | * | ||
- | The roots of japanse reddish; daikon penetrate deep into the soil, adding organic matter and opening channels for air and water circulation. It reseeds itseld easily. | ||

+ | Non-discriminating knowledge arises without conscious effort on the part of the individual when experience is accepted as it is, without interpretation by the intellect. while discriminating knowledge is essential for analyzing practical problems in the world, Mr Fukuoka believes | ||
+ | In the West natural science developed from discriminating knowledge; in the East philosophy of yin-yang and of the I Ching developed from the same source. But scientific truth can never reach absolute truth, and philosophies, | ||
+ | There is no way in which non-discriminating knowledge can be realized except by direct intuition. Abandon the discriminating mind and trancend the world relativity if you want to know the true appearance | ||
- | Fukuoka does not particulary like the word “work”. Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and he think this is the most rediculous thing in the world. Other animals make thier livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderfull they think it is. It would be good to give up that kind of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with planty of free time. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done. | ||

- | We have come to the point at which there is no other way than to bring about a | ||

- | An object seen in isolation from the whole is not the real thing. | + | |
- | | + | |
- | If you think there is live on one side, then death is on the other. if you want to get rid of of the idea of death, then you should rid yourself of the notion that there is life on this side. Life and death are one. | + | |

- | The ones who see true nature are infants, they see without thinking, straight and clear. | + | |
- | discrimination | non discrimination | ||
- | Discriminating knowledge is derived from analytic, willful intellect in anattempt to organize experience into a logical framework. Mr Fukuoka believes that in this process, the individual sets himself apart from nature. It is the limited scientific truth and judgement… Non-discriminating knowledge arises without conscious effort on the part of the individual when experience is accepted as it is, without interpretation by the intellect. while discriminating knowledge is essential for analyzing practical problems in the world, Mr Fukuoka believes that ultimately it provides too narrow perspective. In the West natural science developed from discriminating knowledge; in the East philosophy of yin-yang and of the I Ching developed from the same source. But scientific truth can never reach absolute truth, and philosophies, | + | ==== The original |

- | A scientific testing method which takes all relevant factors into account is an impossibility | ||
- | | + | |
- | When reason is applied | + | |

- | Like a body in meditation; his metabolism, respirtion, and calorie assumption reach an extrreme low level. In the same way, when madarin oranges grow wrinkled, when fruit shrivels, when vegetables wilt, they are in the state that will preserve their food value fro the longest time possible. | + | |

- | * | + | ---- |
- | When people rejected natural food and took up refined food instead, society set out on a path toward its own destruction. This is because such food is not the product of true culture. Food is life, and life must not step away from nature. | + | |

- | In japan, not so long ago the daily meal of the farmers in his area consisted of rice and barley with miso and pickled vegetables. | ||
- | * | ||
- | A nutritious diet which doesnot include the natural seasons isolated people from nature. A fear of nature and insecurity are often the unfortunate results. | ||
- | The original way of agriculture | + | more http:// |
- | * | ||
- | A life of small-scale farming may appear to be primitive, but in living such a life it becomes possible to contemplate the Great Way (the path of spiritual awareness which involves attentiveness to and care for the ordinary activities of daily life). He believes that if ones fathoms deeply in one's own neighboorhoud and the everyday world in which he lives, the greatest of worlds will be revealed. To be here in a small field, in full possession of the freedom and plenitude of each day, every day - this must have been the original way of agriculture. | ||
- | * | ||
- | Natural farming arises of itself when unity exists between man and nature. It conformes to nature as it is, and to the mind as it is. It proceeds from the conviction that if the individual tempararily abandons human will and so allows himself to be guided by nature, nature responds by providing everything. | ||
- | * | ||
- | The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings | ||
