True statement. The clover also fixes nitrogen in the soil for other plants to use so you don’t need fertilizer. Much more to going organic than buying land and watering it in the hope that something grows.
So you meant to write “an additional clover ground crop” then, rather than a “close” ground crop, right? That makes more sense. Non-organic farmers often practice crop rotation and grow various crops that are then plowed under in the spring to augment soil nutrients.
I’m aware that a lot goes into organic gardening, but it does sound like that 2000 acre farm is creating some issues with their current practices. Sometimes the truth lies in the middle somewhere, but discussions nowadays don’t seem to gravitate toward the middle ground. Everything is all or none, it seems.
