Your presentations are so timely. David thank you for your passion to dig into these subjects for all of mankind. Your questions help a layman’s understanding.

Excellent, my friend, Helen. Your adopted concepts of nature's ways is perfect. Keep a living mulch 'cover' growing over the soil always; mow it (and give it close haircuts) right next to your production crop rows so the foliage of the cover crop does not compete or block sunlight. By allowing nature to decompose the cover crop lanes (yours being 10' swaths)you increase soil organic matter for your garden to teem with beneficial microbes. Those natural, living helpers 'handle your light work'. They keep the overall area well aerated so nutrient channels can transport everything from below (as above, so below...as below, so above). In your case we could say 'as anywhere, so everywhere' as the channels are a matrix in all directions.
