Some day I'd like to do no-till indoors
What? Someday you'd like to try indoor no-till, but you think it must be a lot of work because of your long term hands on experience with it? That's a bit confusing. Which is it?I personally am not interested in bare minimum "no-till gardening", and my reasons for such are steeped in both formal education, as well as long term hands on experience.
Admittedly I've only been experimenting with indoor no-till for about 10 years, but long before that I owned a farm which I eventually guided through the 3-year organic transition program required for certification. It was that experience (and my background in biology) that later sparked my interest in experimenting with no-till indoors to grow cannabis instead of continuing with hydro. What I found was that organic no-till requires much less work, fuss, money, and worry than growing hydroponically.
Yes you do your thing. Hydro works. But please, don't empty your waste water down the drain. Eutrophication is a real thing and it affects others, particularly those who enjoy fishing.
