Bryan Tyson outlines an adaptive farming system to boost soil fertility. He advocates growing and turning under pea vines and rye, using large guano applications, then planting wheat and clover followed by corn, cotton, and hay. The method relies on green manures, carbonic acid release, and careful burying of plant residues to increase yields.
A simple open shed style manure trap can be made by anyone with a hammer. It serves as shelter for cattle in hot or rainy weather, drawing them to rest where manure collects. Placing traps on poorer field spots concentrates manure in the desired area.
