I'm going for a no-work garden!

"Can you really have a productive garden without plowing, hoeing, weeding, cultivating, and all the other bothersome rituals that most gardeners suffer through every growing season? 'Sure', says Ruth Stout, a prolific author and writer at 80 years young. The reason that Ruth can throw away her spade and hoe and do her gardening from a couch is a year-round mulch covering, 6 to 8 inches thick, that covers her garden like a blanket."

The mulch doesn’t appear from nowhere 😀. Also, it’s a constant battle against pests (bugs, birds and critters). I grow on about 1/4 acre enough to feed me almost all year. Harvesting is a lot of work and then cleaning and preserving. I freeze dry a lot.
