If you'd like to be on or off this Upper Midwest (WI, IA, MN, MI, and pretty much anyone else interested) list, largely rural and outdoors issues, please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

Interesting article, thanks for the ping SJ.

Right off the top of my head I'm wondering if this won't also reduce the amount of Nitrate in the soil. Decaying organic matter produces Nitrate, does it not?

It will be hard to teach some of us Old Timers (myself included) New Methods. I've always thought we should take nothing from the land which isn't necessary. We have neighbors who bale corn stalks. We don't. I want those corn stalks to decay and replentish the soil.

Green, if you see more articles about this, please ping me to them.

While they are at it, why not be sensible and return to burning lawns in the autumn. Furtermore, kids love it.
