If A Farmer Does Abandon

By Raising Tall Trees For Windbreaks, Citrus Underneath, And A Green Manure Cover Down On The Surface, I Have Found A Way To Take It Easy And Let The Orchard Manage Itself!

The Greening Of The Desert Means Sowing Seeds In People's Hearts And Creating A Green Paradise Of Peace On Earth.

I Started Natural Farming After The War With Just One Small Plot, But Gradually I Acquired Additional Acreage By Taking Over Surrounding Pieces Of Abandoned Land And Caring For Them By Hand.

Speaking Biologically, Fruit In A Slightly Shriveled State Is Holding Its Respiration And Energy Consumption Down To The Lowest Possible Level. It Is Like A Person In Meditation: His Metabolism, Respiration, And Calorie Consumption Reach An Extremely Low Level. Even If He Fasts, The Energy Within The Body Will Be Conserved. In The Same Way, When Mandarin Oranges Grow Wrinkled, When Fruit Shrivels, When Vegetables Wilt, They Are In The State That Will Preserve Their Food Value For The Longest Possible Time.

The Real Path To Natural Farming Requires That A Person Know What Unaltered Nature Is, So That He Or She Can Instinctively Understand What Needs To Be Done - And What Must Not Be Done - To Work In Harmony With Its Processes.
