No-Till Gardening: Easy/Low Labor Methods for Starting Your Garden from Scratch

Mark Gostkiewicz of Tri Gable Lea Farm, a small family farm in Colchester, CT covers a variety of easy ways to start a garden bed from scratch, including times to start and how to tweak your method to match the season. Although some methods involve digging, most do not. You'll learn about sheet mulching/lasagna mulching, hugelkultur beds, forest garden beds, raised beds, and straw bale gardens, and the materials and mulches you can find for free or purchase inexpensively (cardboard, straw, hay, wood chips, top soil, compost).
