I think no till makes most/only sense for intensive market gardening. Where you're weeding by hand or in greenhouses and maybe applying a recurring layer of compost and maybe cover crops to prevent the soil from being bare.

You're already complaining about the price of food, when farmers are barely breaking even on it.

You won't pay ten quid for a sustainably-farmed chicken, and I bet you're really really not going to pay ten quid for one single hand-grown ecologically-neutral farmed carrot.

And if you are, I've got some carrots for you right here. Discount if you order them in multiples of ten.
