John Jeavons’ March 2010 interview with the PlanterTomato Blog:

“John, one of the questions I asked you was why Biointensive farming is so productive and successful. The answer you gave me was the best description of why natural methods of farming works I’ve heard. It is a real eye opener for anyone who has not considered natural methods and I think people will really enjoy it.”
