Check this out....Back to Eden Gardening

Last spring we looked at information from a gentleman in Washington state who has been very successful in his gardening methods. His information resonates strongly with me! We live at the edge of a national forest. I have often commented about how I much I would love to have the kind of dirt found in our forests! In his video presentation, Paul tells how he has created such a soil in his own acreage. We began preparing our ground, covering about 1/4 to 1/3 of our non-lawn ground with a thick layer of either wood chips or old hay, over newspaper or cardboard. The paper creates a dark weed barrier over the dirt, and the ten-inch mulch layer feeds the soil. The method requires no tilling. Our results last summer and fall were much better than previous efforts. We did not spend the summer fighting weeds, we used less water, and harvested much greater amounts of produce! We are currently preparing to increase our coverage (as soon as we can see the yard). We certainly will keep you posted as things thaw out here!   Check out Paul's video at http://backtoedenfilm.com/
