Low Maintenance


Surely everyone knows about Ruth Stout's book, How to Have a Green Thumb
Without An Aching Back. She wrote it years ago, and advocates the use of salt
hay, which she piles everywhere in her Connecticut garden. In fact, it works
with any deep mulch, which in our case, has also remediated our alkaline clay
to a good degree. Since my husband, who does the hard work, insists on
watering, which makes ours a Medit+ garden, this is our best labor-saving device.
