I've just read a few things on the net about this method but does anyone on here do it?
if you do how did you get started off?
what things do you use?
and does it work well?
do you dig just the same as you would if you were not doing it then start the mulching process?
(does that last question make sense lol?)
thanks in advance.
Am I missing something here.
What or who or where in Ruth Stout?
Just googled and found this:

Ruth Stout, the article states, worked au naturale in her garden!
I doubt her method will catch on here!

What do you mean it wont catch on here, its been going on for years millions of them, then some one called " No Dig Gardening "
It's not so different from my method with inches of grass cuttings or dead leaves.
:) I also mulch with anything I can get my hands on, folk at our site moan about marestail.... I use it as mulch,annual and perennial weeds, leaves, grass cuttings. I mulch with them all, they all rot down its natures way ;D / shades x
