There's folks that burn but that doesn't recycle the veg and build fertility in the same manner. I'm creating richer and richer black soil that's constantly putting out new early successional growth that's constantly reset. The fertility has gotten to the point now that the deer are hammering the summer broadleafs like it's candy. It reminds me of trying to grow beans and sunflowers, etc....I feel quite certain the deer can tell the difference in the fertility.
It’s almost like you think turning over the ground magically causes organic vegetation to disappear like fairy smoke. If not, where do you think that vegetation goes, since your do nothing approach nets you “richer and richer black soil”?
