Using distributed acoustic sensing scientists analyzed how seismic waves disturbed cable as they rippled through harrowed fields compared to adjacent undisturbed plots. Showing that plowing obliterates “capillaries” that carry water like tiny interconnected reservoirs

Fiber optic cables reveal a serious problem at the heart of modern farming

Tilling helps farmers control weeds and boost soil fertility. But it also degrades a field's ability to hold water and carbon.

El 19 de septiembre de 2025 completé mi primer media jornada en #bspwm un #tilling #windowmanager luego de casi 4 meses en #OpenboxWM

Ha sido una experiencia increíble y que iré repitiendo hasta pasarme al 100%

Another photo update of the mugwort patch at my community garden, now several weeks after it was plowed. It's Exhibit A for why one should never, ever till mugwort. I've tried to explain this to the person in charge but she just doesn't care. #allotment #garden #gardening #weed #tilling #plowing #mugwort #artemisia

Here's the horror show at my community garden that I described several days ago. The "tilled" section has been plowed and looks weed free and inviting. But in reality the lawn of common mugwort that was previously there has just been broken up into thousands of little clumps, soon to reestablish in areas of the garden that previously didn't have it. And then, just like in past years, gardeners will abandon their plots because the weeds are too thick and the vegetables can't compete. #allotment #garden #gardening #weed #nodig #tilling #plowing #mugwort
