Maingay soil building system turns Cape sands fertile
Hilde Maingay of East Falmouth Cape Cod developed a composting in the pathways system that converts sandy soil into productive beds. Raised four foot wide beds move annually, paths double as compost pits, and organic matter feeds soil through worm castings and aeration. The method yields about ten people year round with two hours daily work, and is detailed in New Alchemy Gardening for All Seasons.
