    • 2009 October 14, Tanja Busse, “Die Wahrheit über Bio”, in Die Zeit:
      Bevor er seine Möhren sät, ist er mindestens viermal übers Feld gefahren: zum Bodenauflockern und Pflügen, danach, um die 30 Zentimeter hohen Dämme zu ziehen, und schließlich zum Flämmen, um wilde Kräuter zu töten. [] Wer zu früh fährt, den bestraft das Beikraut, das die kleinen Möhrenpflänzchen erstickt.
      Before he sows his carrots, he has driven across the field at least four times: to aerate the soil and to plow, then to draw the 30 cm tall dams and finally to scarf it, killing wild weeds. Those that drive too early are punished by weeds suffocating the litte carrot plants.
