    nice read

    The message is consistent: disturb the soil as little as possible, keep the soil covered as much as possible and keep the soil planted as much as possible. He does a good job demonstrating that there are a lot of methods out there, and he explains them well. The book got me listening to his podcast as well. Good book to read and share!
