You know, I really like the idea of Spin Farming. I bought the guides for myself for Christmas and I have to be truthful - probably not worth what they charge. I think it would be much better (and they would probably sell a lot more) if they just published a book. There is a lot of good info in those guides. I'm not a market farmer yet, I've got a couple years to go before I'm able to, but am preparing. Like I said, a lot of good info and really, they have a unique perspective and I love how they pretty much just lay it out like a template, but for $80+ in hindsight I think it was not worth the dollars spent. I knew that risk that it might not be worth it, though, and I think of it as an investment in my future market farm.

Yes, I've checked out the spin farming site, found the material interesting but the information overpriced. May I suggest you try our own site which is completely non-commercial and all information is FREE for the reading. We are hand-scale growers of flowers, vegetables and plants and practice a non-tillage, permanent mulch system of growing that uses input from commercial maintenance gardeners for mulch material. We are starting our 14th year in business and compete favorably with growers using tractors and tillers.

Here is a link that might be useful: Whole Systems Agriculture

Actually I have seen your website and I just simply devoured it. I really appreciate how you put all that information up on a public form and have it for free... I love your system, and have actually adapted a few of your ideas for my home garden which in a few years will start becoming a market garden.

Nice site! Thanks for sharing the link and the info! I just took a quick look, and bookmarked for further perusal, but can you tell me how much land you have? I didn't see that in my quick skimming.

Thanks!
