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.

Gradually I came to realize that the process of saving the desert of the human heart and revegetating the actual desert is actually the same thing.

Since I turned the fields back to their natural state, I can't say I've had any really difficult problems with insects or disease.

Straw mulch, a ground cover of white clover interplanted with the crops, and temporary flooding all provide effective weed control in my fields.

We have come to the point at which there is no other way than to bring about a 'movement' not to bring anything about

I wonder how it is that people's philosophies have come to spin faster than the changing seasons.

There is no one so great as the one who does not try to accomplish anything
